Good News! He died for all, even for the the worst sinner. (Romans 5:6-9)
When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners.
Now, no one is likely to die for a good person, though someone might be willing to die for a person who is especially good. But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. And since we have been made right in God's sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God's judgment.
When each one on earth were utterly helpless...We have to get to that point in our lives before we can saved. We have to come to that point when nothing, absolutely nothing can save us except Christ. As long as you are still hanging to a piece of raft on the water. You are not utterly helpless. Christ will come at just the right time to save you. Jesus Christ didn't come to die for good people or those that think they are good. He came to die for the worst sinners. If we can admit it, we all at one time have done some bad things but even if we had been good all our lives. Our very nature would still be one of a sinner. Even pride comes when we are good, and pride is a sin. I am not talking about the pride we get when we have done something good but pride that exalts us above others.
It would have been unlikely for anyone to die for us if we had been good, and now Christ was willing to die for the worst of us. To prove it, didn't he die for the Apostle Paul who called himself, 'the worst of sinners'. (1Timothy 1:15). He saved him and he is the one who wrote these verses. (Acts 9)
If God has already done all this wouldn't he still save us from the coming judgment that is to come?
Was it all in vain that Jesus Christ died for us sinners, will he not also save us from this judgment?
You bet he will! He paid the highest price for this, he will not leave us nor forsake us.
We trust our best friend, won't we even more trust the Living Christ who died for us such a sacrificial death. There are a lot of people you trust in your life, like a surgeon or a driver taking you somewhere.
Why would it be any different for Christ who keeps his promises.
In conclusion, I want to tell you that I love you all because God loves you all and he sees your struggle in life. Why don't you loosen up a little. He will carry you through it all.
Have a good day!
