God showed His love

For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God commendeth His love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. – Romans 5.6-8

We were without strength
We were sinners

But, on the other hand

Christ died for the ungodly
God showed us His love
Christ died to us

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son.

Despite our deepest, darkest, most deplorable and despicable sin God showed His love to a totally God rejecting world lost in the darkness of sin God showed His love through Christ.

This broken world is filled with broken people. Hatred and division and cruelty have always filled this world. I am reading a book about POWs in Japanese controlled prison camps and the evil seems beyond belief. The sad thing is those kind of actions are commonplace among men.

But even then God shows His love. He wants all men to come to repentance. He loved us, and He proved that love by sending His Son to pay the price for our sins.
