Summary

Romans 5:6-8 - For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— 8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 2:12-16 - For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. 14 For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them 16 on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.

0:00.0	Hello my friends welcome back to the morning mindset I hope you're doing well today and I hope that if you are enduring a difficult time right now
0:11.0	you are fully convinced of God's love for you. In the last
0:16.2	episode I addressed this issue through the scripture through Romans chapter 5
0:21.4	verse number 5 where Paul tells us that we have to return to that place of faith in the fact that God's love has been poured out into our hearts.
0:33.6	Anytime that we're experiencing difficulty or struggle or suffering.
0:38.8	You see, because it's in those times that we begin to question and doubt whether God loves us.
0:43.0	And Paul wants us to rest assured that God indeed does love us.
0:48.0	He's already proven it to us.
0:50.0	And today, he's going to go back in time so to speak to remind us of the ultimate thing that
0:57.4	shows us that God loves us and is verse number six of Romans chapter five is where he begins.
1:03.7	He says, for while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
1:12.8	For one will scarcely die for a righteous person, though perhaps for a good person one would
1:18.0	dare even to die, but God showed his love for us in this that while we were still sitters Christ died for us.
1:28.5	So you see what Paul's doing he's showing us the reality of the situation that we faced as
1:36.3	sinners. We were weak. We were ungodly. We were helpless to do anything about our circumstance.
1:46.4	And the reality is that our weakness and sinfulness
1:51.1	was a direct affront to God. We were offending him. We were against him. We were his
1:58.5	enemies. And yet God out of his great love, it's that same love that we read about in John
2:05.5	316. God so loved the world that he did what? He gave his only son. And so at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
2:17.0	That's you and me.
2:18.9	And Paul makes a point here kind of from a human perspective.
2:22.2	He says, one will hardly die for a righteous
