    Life Verse 6: While We Were Still Sinners

    by TerryLema April 2, 2025

    Well, to end this series of devotions on the verses which frame my life and walk with God is a verse that always drops me to my knees.

    Romans 5:8: “God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.”

    I know what I was before God found me. I know what I would be if He ever chose to remove His Spirit from me (which He won’t).

    To know that while I was still a sinner, while I was His enemy, He sent His Precious Son to die for me is overwhelming. There are times when I cry out … “why me, LORD? Why do you love me so much? How can I ever respond to such a ‘great love?’”

    This is a truth that I must simply accept because there is no way I will ever understand why Father God would do such a thing as this.

    “God showed his great love [to me] by sending Christ to die for [me] while [I was still a sinner].”

     

    Through all eternity I will thank you LORD! To you be all the glory. Amen & Amen
