Romans Chapter 5 Vs. 8

 

Peace with God Through Faith



But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Rom 5:8


Christ died for... Blessings of Christ’s Death

1. All Ten Blessings of Romans 5

2. Propitiation through faith (Rom. 3:25)

3. Demonstration of God’s love (Rom. 5:8)

4. Redemption (Rom. 3:24; Eph. 1:7; Tit. 2:14; 1Pet. 1:18-23; Rev. 5:9)

5. A proper offering of God (Eph. 5:2)

6. A substitute for us (Rom. 5:6; Gal. 1:4)

7. Peace with God (Col. 1:20)

8. The ransom paid (1Tim. 2:6)

9. Sanctification (Heb. 10:10-14)

10. Man brought near to God (Eph. 2:13)

11. The old law abolished (Eph. 2:14-17; Col. 2:14-17; 2Cor. 3:6-15)

12. Healing (Mat. 8:17; 1Pet. 2:24)

In verse eight above, it is as if God forced His love to be shown by His mighty hand. The word “commendeth” means more than just give.

The greatest love ever known was when God the Father gave His only begotten Son to die on the cross for you and me that we might be saved. The mystery of it all is He does not wait until we are good enough to be saved.



However, God’s love contrasts with human love in both nature and degree, because God demonstrates (“keeps on showing”) His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us (hyper, “in our place”). Though a few people might possibly be willing to die to save the lives of good people, though that is rare, Christ went well beyond that. He died in the place of the powerless (“feeble,” Rom. 5:6), the ungodly (Rom. 5:6; 4:5), sinners (Rom. 5:8), and even His enemies! (Rom. 5:10).
