What is the value of one human life? What would you be willing to risk, or lose, to save it? God answers this question definitively from his point of view in that Jesus Christ was willing to die on behalf of the ungodly. That is, Jesus came to die, not for family or friends, not for the good or the righteous, but for those who were powerless to change their own hopelessly sinful state, a group that happens to include all of humanity.
What did God prove by putting forth and accomplishing this plan of redemption? How powerful, how effective, and just how amazing his love is, no wonder John would later write that "God is love". Stand in awe of God's love for lost sinners.
