Bible Verse
”But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” – Romans 5:8 (KJV)
Meaning
The verse emphasizes God’s immense love for us, that He chose to give up His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on our behalf whilst we were still engrossed in sin. It not only manifests His unconditional love but also His grace that is evident irrespective of our weaknesses, iniquities, or shortcomings.
The focus here is not just on God’s love but His ‘commendeth’ love. The word ‘commendeth’ in this context means proves or acknowledges. Thus, God proved His love not with mere words, but through the ultimate sacrifice. This highlights an important principle, love is demonstrated through actions, not just words.
Lastly, it emphasizes the concept of salvation, that though we were undeserving, Christ’s sacrificial death paid the price for our sins, taking our punishment upon Himself so we could have eternal life.
