Romans 5:10 "For if we, as enemies of God, were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, after being reconciled, let us be saved through his life!" This cannot routinely be used to accurately describe self-sacrifice . However, the apostle made the statements that when we are set free we enjoy a substitute self. 5 "And hope does not fail us, for God has poured his love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit he gave us."  The apostle says that our recent relationship with God was far worse after being enemies than this new relationship designed to be saved by substitution. In attainment, when you accurately compare the old self to the new self ("how much more"), it's as if you can't remember what the old self was really like. This is how theologians describe our new selves. We now enjoy everything we desire, but we have not yet received it in its fullness. The impressed apostle, however, properly examines this spiritual "death" by not vicariously experiencing a direct relationship with the old self in such an effective way that we tend to be secure in an ongoing salvation that had humble beginnings and an end. There is no direct relation to our youngest selves at the special moment of our eternal salvation. we tend to die the impressed apostle makes an effort on the ground to distance us from our old selves. It's not just about talking about the undisputed possession of something that was quickly added to our eternal salvation. You will notice this seeming imbalance in the necessary amount of your time that God aptly describes the dire circumstances of His hostile relationship with the wicked compared to the far more extraordinary beauty we tend to experience once new life is given to us. Why should God speak more about how he deals properly with his mighty enemies when his enemies cannot possibly understand and learn enough from ethical instruction? I think it's because he convincingly demonstrates for us the most extraordinary work of Christ, depicting the unfathomable depth of the willful destruction from which he miraculously saved us. And in that sense it is verbal communication. It has all evil limits, so we actually enjoy total freedom as a beneficial consequence of allowing God to graciously control evil and corruption until we receive our full salvation. During this developed sense there is no applicable law that can contain this new freedom, of course, for our submission to the law died immediately after we were faithfully liberated. The extraordinary thing about self-sacrifice is that we cannot avoid wasting ourselves; we are saved by trusting in grace alone. As a result of Christ's reconciliation of us through total agency, we turn to divine grace for the exclusive means by which we may be reliably delivered. We can avert death directly because Christ has declared to us a much greater power to overcome.
