Romans 5:7-8 says, For
one will scarcely die for a righteous person--though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for
us
The love of God is patient. It doesn’t drop you the moment you mess up. It’s not rude, the way some family members treat each other. It’s not puffed up or self-serving. It is the kind of
love that makes sacrifices for even those who don’t appreciate it.
It’s the kind of love that goes after the unlovely. It sees the good and the possibilities in those the world has given up on. It forgives, even when the offender was clearly in the wrong. It
overcomes evil with good.
God’s supernatural love turns sinners into saints, hells into heavens, and cowards into heroes. It satisfies the deepest levels of the human heart. And it is freely offered to us. God’s
supernatural love compelled Him to reach out to us, even though we never deserved it!
