Day 2: God’s Love is Demonstrated While We Were Sinners
God’s love is not a response to our goodness; it is the very cause of it. He did not wait for humanity to become worthy or lovable. Instead, He took the initiative, sending His Son into our brokenness and rebellion. This love is most clearly seen at the cross, where Christ died for us while we were still actively opposed to Him. Such a love is unconditional, overwhelming, and worthy of our eternal praise.
but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8 (ESV)
Reflection: Where have you been trying to clean yourself up for God, instead of accepting that His love and cleansing are already extended to you exactly as you are?
