God is Eternal.
God is All-Knowing.
6 When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners.
7 Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good.
8 But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.
9 And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation.
10 For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son.
11 So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.
The truth of this scripture is the very foundation our faith is built upon.
In Order to even begin to appreciate the treasure in this passage of scripture, we need to understand a few things about God.
God is Eternal.
He exists outside of time.
He participates in time, however, He is not bound by it.
5 How great is our Lord!
His power is absolute!
His understanding is beyond comprehension!
God is All-Knowing.
He already knows everything.
We describe Him as “Omniscient.”
God is All-Powerful.
He is “Omnipotent”.
His power to accomplish His purposes cuts across every boundary that contain us.
Display your power, O God, as you have in the past.
29 The kings of the earth are bringing tribute
to your Temple in Jerusalem.
30 Rebuke these enemy nations—
these wild animals lurking in the reeds,
this herd of bulls among the weaker calves.
Make them bring bars of silver in humble tribute.
Scatter the nations that delight in war.
31 Let Egypt come with gifts of precious metals*;
let Ethiopia* bring tribute to God.
32 Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth.
Sing praises to the Lord.
Interlude
33 Sing to the one who rides across the ancient heavens,
his mighty voice thundering from the sky.
34 Tell everyone about God’s power.
His majesty shines down on Israel;
his strength is mighty in the heavens.
35 God is awesome in his sanctuary.
The God of Israel gives power and strength to his people.
Praise be to God!
Now that we have laid down a foundation, let’s reconsider this passage from .
When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners.
There are three things that we must understand.
Three things that build upon one another that will give us great confidence in God’s work of forgiveness, if we can just understand them.
1.
We were completely helpless in this process.
We were always helpless to contribute motivation.
Helpless to Counsel or Advise.
Helpless to contribute power.
2. Christ died at Just the right time for God’s purposes, not when we were on our best behavior.
God’s plan for Christ to die for our sin was not a reaction to our sin but a preparation for it.
1.
He was motivated to love us long before we ever existed.
This is mother’s love.
Illustration: A mother’s diaper bag.
Everything a baby could need is in that diaper bag.
diapers, lotion, wipes, teething toys and teething gel to numb the babies gums, rags and bibs and those plastic table covers that provide a clean surface to eat on, a booger bulb, nail clippers, Cheerios, and sippy cups.
Better than a fishing tackle box.
A mom is prepared because she knows her baby.
She knows what will be needed.
In the same way, God, who knows us better than we know ourselves, prepared, in Jesus, His solution to our sin problem before the foundation of the Universe was laid and, at the perfect time, Christ accomplished God’s plan by dying for our sins.
2. His love was always an extension of His grace.
It was never a reward but a gift.
He chose to die for us — While we were disqualified from his love.
We’ve never received His love because we qualified for it.
3.
This is what He enjoys doing.
3.
He chose to die for us — While we were disqualified from his love.
We’ve never received His love because we qualified for it.
Long before God sent Jesus Christ to die to take the punishment for our sin, he had our complete life played out like a massive photo collection.
He had all our good and all our bad moments.
And knowing us at our worst, He chose to die for us.
While we were sinners.
Think of what this means for your confidence in God’s forgiveness.
If He forgave your sins past, present, and future, how could anything you possible do cause the Father to change His mind and take back His love.
