God's Love

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.  Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.  But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
 
Romans 5:6-8
 
     We were weak and helpless because we could do nothing on our own to save ourselves.  Someone had to come and rescue us.  Not only did Christ come at a good time in history; He came at exactly the right time - according to God's own schedule.  God controls all history, and hH controlled the timing, methods, and results of Jesus' death.  By the same token, He controls the timing and methods of the circumstances of your life.  We must remember that God is in control.  Especially when it appears as if everything is spiraling out of control.
     While we were still sinners - these are amazing words.  God sent Jesus Christ to die for us, not because we were good enough, but simply because He loved us.  Whenever you feel uncertain about God's love for you, remember that He loved you even before you turned to Him.  If God loves you when you were rebellious and stubborn, He can surely strengthen you, now that you love Him in return.
 
God Bless you,

I have a different perpective. I do believe God loves us, and Jesus loves us enough to stand firm in the face of certain death. But I don't believe He was sent to die for us. I believe He came to change the world, and He did. I believe He died because He upset the status quo; He stood up to the "powers that be" (the government, culture of His earthly time) and was killed for rallying the people. God is all loving and all compassion.
