Scripture Text: Romans 5:8, Romans 5:6-11
But God…
But God Demonstrates His Own Love
Romans 5:8, Romans 5:6-11
The question this morning is, “Why did Jesus pay that debt for us?”
Jesus came to save the truly lost. He came to save those that needed saving. He came to save lost mankind.
We understand that there are people we love and if called upon and perhaps we would take their place if they were in danger.
Because Jesus’ substitutionary death for us on the cross, we have “been justified by His blood” we have been made righteous before God.
By accepting the reconciliation, accepting what Jesus has done on our behalf, we are now in position to establish a personal relationship with Him.
We are reconciled with God. And it was Almighty God who initiated the reconciliation with us by sending us Jesus.
