Romans 5:8

“But God demonstrates his own love love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us”.

“De ho theos synistemi heautuo ho agape eis hoti ego eimi eti hamartolos Christos apothnesko hyper ego”

First in English and then in Greek

I love the original Greek for the word demonstrates (synistemi). This word denotes a present or active verb.

God did not demonstrate this one time, because our sin (hamartolos) implies that it is in our nature. Meaning it is the past present and future sins that we do.

So, God actively shows his love (agape) to us by Christos (the annointed one)…dying for us - for ALL of our sins!

This implies an active replacement for our sin. Our past, present, and future sins!!

I don’t know about you, but that is Good News for me!!

How does this view of sin and what Jesus did for our sins impact your view of God’s love?
