For while we were still helpless, at the right time, the Messiah died on behalf of ungodly people. Now it is a rare event when someone gives up his life even for the sake of somebody righteous, although possibly for a truly good person one might have the courage to die. But demonstrates his own love for us in that the Messiah died on our behalf while we were still sinners.
Therefore, since we have now come to be considered righteous by means of his bloody sacrificial death, how much more will we be delivered through him from the anger of God's judgment! For if we were reconciled with God through his Son's death when we were enemies, how much more will we be delivered by his life, now that we are reconciled! And not only will we be delivered in the future, but we are boasting about God right now, because he has acted through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, through whom we have already received that reconciliation.
~Romans 5:6-11 (CJB)~

I pray for the day when we can love one another as Christ loves us.
ReplyDeletePraising Jesus for his sacrifice so we can be reconciled and saved. Lovely scripture to read this morning. Thank you and thank you for the link up.
ReplyDeleteIt's so amazing that Christ loved us and died for us when we were such a mess and had no interest in Him. What love!
ReplyDeleteWow…what a powerful reminder of the depth of God’s love for us. I’m always in awe when I read these verses in Romans. To think that Christ died for us while we were still sinners, before we could ever do anything to deserve it, just humbles me every time. What incredible grace! And not only did He reconcile us through His death, but now we get to live in the joy and hope of His life. These verses make me so thankful for the gift of salvation and the peace that only comes through Jesus.
