“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
Interestingly, the Bible doesn't ever just say that God loves us. Instead, it says: "God demonstrated His love..." "In this is love, not that we loved God but that God loved us and gave..." "For God so loved the world that He gave..."
Love is more than emotion or intention. True love, redemptive love, God-styled love is active; it does something. For us, Jesus did more than something; He sacrificed everything. What's more, He did it when we most needed it. He demonstrated His love when we were sinners!
