Our verses from the last couple of weeks reminded us that we are all sinners, that our sin separates us from God and (the good news) that God has offered us salvation through His Son Jesus. Romans 5:8 tells us again just how deep God’s love for us really is. So deep that, even though we are all sinners and some will never accept His offer of salvation, He still sent Jesus to die on a cross for us. There are over seven billion people on Earth…and God loves every single person that much.
