Words from the Pastor
While We Were Yet Sinners
by Wayne Hoag 6.23.22
“But God demonstrates His own love towards us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:8.
I have been pondering once again the great grace that God has poured out upon this world through the birth, the life, the death, and the resurrection of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. The story of the Incarnation, God with us, is permeated with grace, God’s divine favor, from beginning to end.
For me, the most incredible part is that God demonstrated His love for us, while we were yet sinners! Mankind had done nothing to curry the favor of God. Mankind was wallowing in sin, figuratively shaking their fists at God as they disregarded His commandments. In the midst of that rebellion, was when God demonstrated His love.
