Die

⁶ While we were still weak, at the right moment, Christ died for ungodly people. ⁷ It isn’t often that someone will die for a righteous person, though maybe someone might dare to die for a good person. ⁸ But God shows his love for us, because while we were still sinners Christ died for us. ⁹ So, now that we have been made righteous by his blood, we can be even more certain that we will be saved from God’s wrath through him. ¹⁰ If we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son while we were still enemies, now that we have been reconciled, how much more certain is it that we will be saved by his life? ¹¹ And not only that: we even take pride in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, the one through whom we now have a restored relationship with God. (Romans 5:6-11, CEB)

Picture this:

Jesus looks at the cross.

Then looks at you.

Then Jesus says, “Absolutely worth it!”

When we were separated from God and our sin was a barrier to us being with God, Jesus came and died for us. Nothing you can do to change that.

Christ did what he did when you absolutely did not deserve it. And that gains us eternity with God.

Love as Christ loves you.

Loving People. Loving God.
