His Love Toward Us

While We Were Still Sinners

God demonstrated His own love toward us through His Son Jesus Christ. This demonstration of total and complete love was through His death on the cross for us while we were still sinners. Romans 5:8 states: But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." 

While we were sinners, deserving the death and punishment that Christ took upon himself, He chose to love us. Instead of giving us of what we deserve, He gave us grace. "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9).

Lord, I come to you with a humble heart. Please forgive me when I sin and fall short of Your glory. Thank you for loving me and giving me what I do not deserve and that is Your grace.  Grace that you have so lovingly poured out on me. For it is by that grace I have been saved. It is by Jesus Christ that I have been washed and redeemed. I fall on my knees in worship and praise for what you have done. Thank you for listening to Your servant as I pour my heart out to you in prayer. It is in Jesus name I pray, amen.
