Romans 5:8 (NIV). But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.......
Thoughts on This Verse...
Interestingly, the Bible doesn't ever just say that God loves us. Instead, it says:''God demonstrated his love...''''In this is love, not that we loved God but that God loved us and gave...''
''For God so loved the world that he gave...''
Love is more than emotion or intention. True love, redemptive love, God-styled love is active; it does something. For us, Jesus did more than something; he sacrificed everything. What's more, he did it when we most needed it.
He demonstrated his love when we were sinners!
