Romans 5:6 NLT When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners.
Did you notice? Paul included himself in this verse. So why are we so ready to point fingers at others? How are we so quick to judge? We want to rewrite that verse to say that Jesus died for all YOU sinners.
Romans 3:23 tells us that we have all sinned and fall short of God's glory (and standard). We could never approach God on our own.
Paul understood his own failures. He agreed with God that sin in his life was sin. We need to do the same. In order to be cured, we need to recognize the need. Ah, but there is good news!
Because even at the time that we were utterly helpless (like today, for instance), Jesus Christ came just at the right moment. And He died for us, because we all all sinners. And because of what He has done, we can be saved!
