Verse from Romans

“唯有基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死,神对我们的爱就在此显明了。”
罗马书 5:8

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:8

We deserve death because of our sin (Rom. 3:23). Yet, “while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (5:8). We were unworthy, yet Jesus—sinless and holy—gave up His life so we could escape the penalty for our sin and one day live forever in heaven.

Eternal life is a gift from God. It’s not something we earn by working for it. We are saved by God’s grace, through faith in Christ (Eph. 2:8–9).

Grace and mercy are unearned blessings.
