Romans 5:7-8

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. And that is the glory of his love. While we were rebels against his government, he redeemed us. While we were far off from him by wicked works he sent his Son to die and bring us near. Free grace, indeed, was this — not caused...

For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: If a man is known to be sternly just, like Aristides, nobody would care enough for him to die for him. Rom_5:7.

For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: Though he were as just as Aristides, though be were renowned for justice, nobody would die for him.

For a benevolent,...

Romans 5:7

Romans 5:7

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

For scarcely- Now the apostle goes away from his theme, carried away by the still greater subject of the love of God in Christ Jesus, and the way of reconciliation by Christ, he goes on to that theme: “For scarcely” — Rom_5:7. For a righteous man will one die:- However “just” Aristides might be, nobody would die for him. However “righteous” a man...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us, It is under that aspect that Christ is to be regarded as dying for the ungodly, dying for sinners. Ungodly man, guilty sinner, is there not hope for you in this blessed truth? Does anyone say, “I shall be lost, for I am...

Romans 5:8

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Certainly we were not “good” men, we were not even “just” men, but we are included in this black description “sinners”; and “while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” He died for us as sinners, he did not come to save saints, but to save sinners;...

Romans 5:8

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. He did the utmost for us when we were the least deserving of it. Oh, what a love is this. Let it be shed abroad in our poor stony hearts, and commended by us to others.

Romans 5:8

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. When we were not righteous, when we certainly were not good, when the whole description of our character could be summed up in that one word “sinners” — rebels offending against God: “while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

Romans 5:8

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. While we were neither righteous nor good, “while we were yet sinners, Christ” did the most he ever could, or ever can do for us, he “died for us.” this is the best gift for the worst of men, and that best gift given to them when they are at their worst...

Romans 5:9

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. You see the force of the argument. If he loved us when we were still dead in sin, much more will he keep us and preserve us now that he hath justified us. Were his enemies redeemed? Shall not his friends be kept? Did he love those who were still far off?...
