Christ Died For Us
Christ died for us while we were still sinners. He saw our potential and paid the price for our eternity. Accept His love today.
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
— Romans 5:8
Christ died for us before we knew Him, showing His deep love and eternal plan.
He Saw Our Potential
I recently read about a university that offered a football scholarship to an eighth grader. The offer wouldn’t take effect until high school graduation, but the coach already saw the potential. That story reminded me of Christ’s love. He saw us not as we were, but as we could be. While we were still sinners—immature, rebellious, lost—He died for us. Like that coach, Jesus had a plan and believed in our future.
Jesus didn’t just demonstrate love. He showed faith in us. He knew what we could become in Him. This faith is echoed by Paul in Philippians 1:6: “He who began a good work in you will complete it in the day of Jesus Christ.”
We Are a Work in Progress
After Paul’s conversion on the Damascus road, he spent about three years in Arabia. It was a time of spiritual growth, guided by the Holy Spirit. During this period, Paul came to fully grasp the grace of God. Like Paul, we are in process. Jesus knows our flaws—and our potential—because He created us.
Proverbs 23:7 says, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” So, what are you thinking about today? Do you believe Jesus has a plan for you? Are you holding on to the truth that He died for you long before you even knew Him?
Good morning. Make sure you’ve accepted your ticket to eternity—Jesus paid for it over 2,000 years ago.
Let Us Pray
Lord Jesus, thank You for dying for me while I was still a sinner. Help me to grow into the purpose You have for my life. Amen.
