GOD'S LOVE
Romans 5:8
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Encouraging words
Is this not the ultimate definition and demonstration of total and unconditional love? Jesus knew while he was headed to the cross that He would not only be giving up His life for those who loved Him and desired to be like Him, but also for everyone that would reject Him and all of us who continue to sin day after day. Jesus died for us even as we were still mired in our sins. That is true love. There is no judgment in that love. There is no rejection in that love. So what should be my response to this love? Receive it. Pass it on to others around me. Live my life in a way that honors and respects that love by trying to sin no more. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner!
