While we were still sinners...Christ Died for us

Here's a devo to use in your group or for personal meditation...

"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were
still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)

Happy Week After Valentine's Week. Or Happy Making Fun of
Valentine's Week Week. Some people just can't stand the hype
leading up to the biggest greeting card day of the year. Others
can't wait to get some candy love!

For starters, we're absolutely convinced that God has proved His
love for us way before we could do anything to make ourselves
lovable. As today's verse points out, He gave His Son to make it
possible for us to live with Him forever. Do you need more evidence?

Think: Do you ever wonder if God really loves you? Are you
convinced that His gift of the life of Jesus in your place is a
demonstration of His forever love for you? Why or why not?

Pray: Thank God that He demonstrated His own love for us by sending
Christ to die for us when we were still sinners.

Read: See how huge this idea really is when you read Romans 5:1-11.

Special thanks to our friends at Planet Wisdom, Paul & Al for that devotional thought!
