God Demonstrates His Love


For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.  For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for a good man someone would dare even to die.  But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 5:6-8

We started taking our Granddaughter to church two years ago.  I was not sure how much she learned about God, but I knew that she had a good time.  This week she said, “Jesus took all our sins and died so that we can go to heaven.” 

If a six year old understands this, then why are we not shouting it from the roof tops for everyone to hear?  I think it is because we are afraid we will be met with skepticism or ridicule or be labeled as religious fanatics.   

What we need to consider is that we live a world full of people looking for God, and it is our job to tell them about Jesus.  We have a great message and we should not be afraid to boldly proclaim it:  “… God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
