Today's Verse - Romans 5:8 (KJV)

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

Romans 5:8 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​


Interestingly, the Bible doesn't ever just say that God loves us. Instead, it says:
"God demonstrates his own love for us in this..." (Romans 5:8).

"This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son..." (1 John 4:10).

"For God so loved the world that he gave..." (John 3:16).

For God, love is more than an emotion or intention. True love — redemptive love, God-styled love — is defined by actions and the emotions that launch those actions! Jesus showed God's love for us by sacrificing everything for us. He did it when we most needed it. He demonstrated God's love for us while we were sinners, powerless, ungodly, and even enemies of God!

My Prayer...​


Father, thank you for loving us. We love you for what you've done. We love you for who you are. We love you for your promises. We love you for your faithfulness. Most of all, dear Father, we love you because of Jesus, who showed us how much you love us. Please empower us to show our love by serving and giving to others as Jesus did for us. In his name, we pray. Amen.
