About this sermon

Romans 5:6-8... For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. We take a good look at Romans 5:8 in this message. There is a wonderful treasure found in the word “commendeth” that we will examine. Because of His love for us, Christ died for our sins! * Because of His Love Christ Died for Our Sins! * Christ died for our sins, even though we are like stray sheep in green meadows with glassy pools that wander from the protection, provision, and peace of their gentle shepherd. * Christ died for our sins even though our righteousness is like a pile of filthy rags, filled with stench and swarming with flies. * Christ died for our sins despite the reality that goodness has vacated our lives like new-grown baby birds that have emptied their mother's nest. * Christ died for our sins regardless of the truth that we are abominable, filthy, and drink iniquity like water at the cesspools of corruption. * Christ died for our sins regardless of our wretchedness and we were shaped in iniquity like a potter that molds his clay on his wheel. * Christ died for our sins though we fade like leaves that have fallen from gold and crimson trees in autumn. * Christ died for our sins even though we are like barren, worthless chaff that the wind drives away with its breath. * Christ died for our sins though we were walking in darkness and blind like a beggar robbed of his sight. * Christ died for our sins despite the arrogance that makes us feel we are rich, increased with goods, and do not need anything or anyone, especially God. Christ died for our sins! Thank God that Christ, who is the Altogether Lovely One, died for the unlovely! Thank God that He who is the perfection of purity, died for the putrid! Thank God that He who is immaculate, impeccable, and irreproachable, died for those who are irritating, ill-tempered, indecent, improper, insensitive, iniquitous, and interested only in themselves. This message was preached on Wednesday night, November 29, 2023, at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
