Word of the Day (8-8-11)

Good Morning Everyone

Today is Monday August 8, 2011

The word of the day comes from Romans 5:8

⁸ But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.

My Interpretation

What I really love about this verse is that it doesn’t show anything that we did. The entire verse is about us without us having to do anything. There are certain times where my brain will begin (to no avail) to wrap around the concept of how much God loves us. Each one of us in our own way I’m sure can attest at some point in time, to feeling inadequate, undeserving, unworthy, not privileged, too guilty, too sinful, beyond help to be in the mere presence of God, let alone know that He would demonstrate the ULTIMATE ACT OF LOVE for us by giving His life for ours. It just doesn’t seem rational.
