4. Rejoicing in what we Spiritually Possess
6 For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— 8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:6-8 (ESV)
Three of the words express the deficiencies of human beings; we are “weak,” “ungodly,” and “sinners.”
Weak: lack of moral strength (ungodly)
God’s love belongs in an entirely different category than human love.
