Romans 5:6 " For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly".
The people of Jesus' day understood loving their neighbors, but they did not understand loving their enemies. To them it was alright to hate the enemies, but Jesus taught just the opposite. He loved us while we were His enemy. If we were going to be like Him we must do like Him and love our enemies. Jesus gave practical ways to love our enemies. He said to bless them, pray for them and do them good.
Jesus died to save lost man. We were ungodly, and powerless and yet Christ died for us. We were without strength, weak, worthless, useless, helpless, destitute, powerless. We were spiritually unable to help ourselves and Christ died for us. We were ungodly, not like God, enemies to God, rebellious to God, profane having a different lifestyle than God, and yet Christ died for us. Christ died for those whom no man would have given his life to save. He died for those who had no value and who were no good, those the world said was unfit to live, God felt were to precious to die and Christ died for us. While we were yet sinners God proved His love for us, the unbelievable Love of God.
God proved His love for us, He has given up His Son to die for the ungodly, while we were sinners. We do not deserve it, we never have and never will, but God loves us with an unbelievable love. Have you received the unbelievable love of God?
