While We Were Yet Sinners, Christ Died For Us

Romans 5:8  But God

commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

No One Ever Cared For Me Like Jesus

How could any one who fully understands what happened when Christ died, ever turn their back on Him?

Once we learn who God is and why He sent His only begotten Son to die in our place, what else can a person do but give their heart back to the God who gave them His heart? Every argument you can give has  an answer in The Word of God. It is the written Word many choose to believe is real and true for every person in every walk of life. The whole world does not revolve around us nor do we revolve around the world.

God created a man and a woman and put them in charge of taking care of the garden, but He did not give them the garden. And when sin entered this world through their disobedience to the God who loved them, sin became the ruler of this world and all that is in it. Its ugly briers and snares were made to trap and wound people. Its evilness declared itself to be 'all that' and entered into the hearts of men and women who chose and still choose to turn their backs on God's Word.

Sin is disobedience to God's Holy Word in any form, whether it is to turn your back on Jesus; refuse to believe the WHOLE Word of God; not answer God's call on your life, your heart. Sin corrupts, destroys, neglects, rusts, traps, snares, attaches itself to , weaves its wicked ways into. Sin is willful deliberate transgression against divine law. Sin is an illegal or immoral decision or action taken by any person who disobeys God's Word. Any deviation from the Truth is sin.

A lie is a lie; a liar is a liar. A thief is a thief: whether you taste test that grape in the produce department, mug a person for their personal property, or break into their homes and steal their possessions. If you are entrusted to do something or take care of something, and you break that trust, you are a thief. You have stolen their trust. Nobody makes you do anything you don't want to do. Fear of retaliation will play its part in the decisions we make when we choose to do wrong, but still, it is our choice. A hard thing to say knowing how much wickedness is in this world today. I'm talking about everyday sins here. Sins that other people do when they disobey God, and that you are entangled in with them, involuntarily or against your will, are not being explained here.

People want a better life. And some will do anything, go anywhere and say anything to get it. Except the one thing they should say and do: pray to God for deliverance from sin and accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of their lives. Many think God is for the weak-minded; He has been long ignored by the intellectual, the scientist, the mathmetician, the politician, the medical professions, the teachers and professors, the parents, the students; the drug addict, the alcoholic, the meth-head, the predator, the homosexual, the psychotic, the players and the users. BUT GOD IS. And God is FOR EVERY ONE. His LOVE His MERCY His PEACE His HOPE is FOR EVERY ONE.

GOD IS. Read Romans 5:6-8 again, but read it like this:
"For when we were yet without strength, in due time CHRIST died for the ungodly. (No other religious leader [god, idol] has ever done that. EVER).
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure (possibly, perhaps by chance) for a good man some would even dare to die. (Especially on the battlefield in wartime. But if you live where violence is prevalent (daily for some), then you know that this is true).
BUT GOD commendeth (approves, sanctions, advocates) His Love toward us, in that (even though), while we were yet sinners (transgressors of the divine law, living sinful sin-filled lives), CHRIST DIED FOR US."
O God, Thank You Thank You Thank You for saving me. Without You I would be so so lost, so undone, so messed up. If it weren't for You answering my Mother's prayers, I would have faced judgment years ago and been condemned to hell and an eternity without Grace. Thank You Thank You Thank You GOD. I Am SO GLAD YOU ARE MY GOD.

Romans 5:9
"Much more then, being now justified (acquitted, defended, excused, pardoned, vindicated, absolved) by His BLOOD, we shall be SAVED (kept from danger, preserved, protected from, reclaimed, secure, salvaged) Wrath (violent indignation) through Him."
WOO-HOO! I AM SO GLAD THAT THE LORD SAVED ME!!!!!!!!!!!
Please read the rest of this chapter, as it the most marvelous thing that God could ever do for you and I. No matter who you are, where you live, how much money you make or don't make, what you wear; GOD knows what is in your heart and He wants to be there, too: in your heart. Don't wait till another day has passed; you have no guarantee you will ever see tomorrow. The day before disaster happens is just another day; its a normal day. But the day you die without God there will be no more normal days, there will be no more sunshine, no more gentle rains, no more rainbows. Any day without GOD in your life is a day without JOY, a day without PEACE, a day without HOPE, a day without mountains to climb, oceans to swim and clouds to soar through. Death without GOD present will be the worst day of your life.

But I have JOY PEACE HOPE FAITH LOVE MERCY GRACE KINDNESS EVERLASTING NOW and I will have these FOR EVER. I HAVE GOD IN MY LIFE AND MY HEART. HE IS MY GOD. And He wants to be your GOD, too.
