While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8
Christ died for us while we were still sinners and wanted nothing to do with God. God didn’t wait for us to clean up our act and make the first move — if he did, he would have been waiting forever.
When we invest in and invite others, we are reminded of what God has already done for us. We are reminded that when we wanted nothing to do with God or opposed him in our actions, God didn’t get mad at us; instead, he loved us. Investing in and inviting others reminds us of God’s everlasting mercy and compassion.
Thank God today for the mercy and compassion he has shown you by sending Jesus to die for you. Pray for the grace to pass that message on to others.
