C. S. Lewis

Non-Christians seem to think that the Incarnation implies some particular merit or excellence in humanity. But of course it implies just the reverse: a particular demerit and depravity. No creature that deserved Redemption would need to be redeemed. They that are whole need not the physician. Christ died for men precisely because men are not worth dying for; to make them worth it. ✨ C. S. Lewis (2002). The World's Last Night: And Other Essays, p.94, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
