Romans 5:6–11, NIV

6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.  7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.  8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.  9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!  10 For if, while we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!  11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

 

1. God’s Love Came at the Right Time: When We Were Weak and Powerless and in Desperate Need of It (6).

 

4 But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. (Gal. 4:4–5, NIV)

 

2. God’s Love Is Not Like Human Love (6–7).

 

3. God’s Love Is Given to the Most Unlovable (8).

 

4. God’s Love Not Only Gives Us Grace in the Present; It Will Also Give Us Grace in the Future (9–10).

 

5. God’s Love Is Worthy of Our Ultimate Praise and Becomes the Source of Our Life’s Joy (11).
