To die for LOVE!

To die for LOVE!

Rom. 5: 7 -8

Now it is an EXTRAORDINARY thing for one TO GIVE HIS LIFE even for a righteous [moral, upright] man [who is distinguished for his integrity of conduct],

though perhaps [maybe] for a good man, [whose life is given to the public good] someone MIGHT EVEN DARE [have the courage] TO DIE.

BUT………. God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners [standing powerless in our guilt before God with no way to appeal for vindication]

CHRIST (the Messiah, the Anointed One) DIED FOR US. [took our place to save us from eternal separation from God].

Pray the Word:

Lord, with every word we read, it increases what an EXTRAORDINARY ACT OF LOVE it was that You give up Your Son to suffer & die for us! There is nothing amiable in our life or conduct that would so endear You to any of us as to induce Christ to give his life [die] to save such as we are. There’s no work that we’ve accomplished, nor can we plead before You any good that we’ve done . . . . . we can only let the Blood of Christ speak for us!
