This is Who died for you.

"15He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. 17And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. 19For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.
21And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 22he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, 23 if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister." Colossians 1 (English Standard Version)

Isn't it amazing that this is the One who gave His very life for you. The gravity of the truth of the gospel is heavy on my heart right now. There is a need for the gospel to be taken to the ends of the earth (literally). As Christians we are responsible for taking the grace and truth of the gospel to every corner of the earth. Understand that if you are a Christian this is not an option. This is your reason for existing, for being called to right relationship with Christ. The Great Commission (Matthew 28:19ff) is not given as an option, but rather as a command. We must make disciples of all nations. We must start in our current context first however. I am convinced that it is impossible for a church to make disciples of the nations, when they are not making disciples in their church and in their community. We must start where we are and once we understand the workings of this process, then we are to take the gospel to all the earth. Without hesitation. Without fear. Without regard for our own dreams, desires, and even life. We must be more than a Christ follower; we must be a sold out Christ follower. May the truth of the gospel and the weight of this responsibility drive you to the cross and to the nations.
