Romans 5:8: 'But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.'
Paul wants you to know how God loves. Not by sentiment. Not by promise. By a specific historical act.
'While we were still sinners' — God didn't wait for us to improve. He didn't love us because we became loveable. He loved us when we were enemies.
Christ's death is the demonstration. It's the receipt, the proof, the place we look when we doubt.
When you wonder whether God really loves you, don't look inside yourself. Look at the cross. The evidence is fixed in history.
