Romans 5

The first musical cantata I performed at Hope Temple in 1974 was called “God’s Love Gift.” Romans 5 clarifies how magnanimous this gift was. God gave His Best, Christ Jesus, for us who were totally undeserving of anything. In fact, many despise God and trash His love openly. Yet, His love still reaches. (The very next year, we performed “His Love Reaching.”)

So great a salvation … such great love … for people so undeserving. But in this we see how compassionate and generous true love is.

Lord, grace us to love like this.
