While We Were Still Sinners -{Romans 5:8}

“But God clearly shows and proves His own love for us, by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us”-(Romans 5:8)

“While we were still sinners…” He did not wait until somehow we could make ourselves acceptable, clean up our act -(which is impossible) but it is “while we were still sinners” in the state of rebellion against Him, The LORD Jesus Christ chose to die to pay the penalty for our sins to reconcile us to God!
“While we were still sinners…”. God proved His love for us… for you… ” while we were still sinners…” amazing love!

He didn’t wait for us to change before He loved us but in the depravity of our sin He chose to love us. He initiated, not based on our affection, or love for Him- which we had none. No desire for Him, not seeking after Him. None of us doing right by God, Rather we were helpless, ungodly, sinners, enemies, according to Romans 5. Spiritually dead in our sins -( Ephesians 2:1-3). “But God…”

NOTE; the verse shows us God in action!
God Clearly Shows us His love.
God Proves His love for us.
How?
By the FACT, while we were still sinners CHRIST DIED FOR US!

Christ died to SAVE us from our sins-( Matt 1:21)
Christ died to RECONCILE us to God -(Rom 5:10)
Christ died that we may have PEACE with God-(Ephesians 2:14)
Christ died to DELIVER US from satan and TRANSFER us to the Kingdom of His Son-(Col 1:13)
Christ died to FORGIVE us -(Col 1:14)
Christ died to BRING us to God- (1 Peter 3:18)
Christ died for YOU!!

Christ died in our place to do for us what we could not do for ourselves- be right with God!

God being previous, made provision through His Son that…
“While we were still sinners Christ died for us!!!” What beautiful words, what words of Hope and comfort and reason for confidence in what God has done in Christ for you, me and all who entrust themselves to Him!
What a wonderful God, what a magnificent powerful and personal Savior is Jesus our LORD! Glory!

Meditate on this verse , Romans 5:8. Praise God. Share with others- of the Hope for the sinner based on the love of God while they were still sinners! As deep as the sin may be, as depraved as the sinner is. As hopeless as the sinner may feel in that there is no way that God couid love him or her, take then to this verse and allow the Holy Spirit impress the truth on their heart “ while we ( have them put their name instead of “we” ) were still sinners Christ died for (put their name in here to personalize it)

How deep the love of God for the sinner, me, you! What hope is found in this verse.
