This verse reminds us of the incredible love that God has for us, even when we were still sinners and separated from Him.

This amazing Love is further supported by Ephesians 2:4-6, which states, “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”

These verses tell us that God’s love for us is rich in mercy and grace and that through faith in Jesus Christ and the death, burial, and resurrection (the gospel), we have been made alive, saved, and seated with Him in the heavenly places.

So, when we read Romans 5:8, we see the unfathomable love of God for us, demonstrated in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for our sins. This love brings hope to our hearts and gives us the assurance of salvation and our promised eternity with God.
