On Salvation

“You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.  
Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.  
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” 
Romans 5:6-8
Lorenz Eifert said,
“The dying Jesus is the evidence of God's anger toward sin; but the living Jesus is the proof of God's love and forgiveness.”

Jesus died for us. It is that simple. Not because we were good but to make us good. That’s what Paul is saying in the above quote from Romans, saying,
“Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Paul writing to the Corinthians states,
“For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance : that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,” 
                             1 Corinthians 15:3.
This is the core of what we Christians believe. That Christ died not for his own sins but for our sins and short comings.
I know it can be a hard concept to grasp because to the human mind at least the question is, why would anyone want to die for someone else? Especially if that person was a sinner.
We Christians recognize we have and all knowing and just God who realized that we could not be good enough to stand before him. Therefore he showed us the lengths He would go in man’s terms to reconcile man to Himself. Giving us eternal life free of charge.
A free gift that cost Christ his life. The apostle Paul saying
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” 
Romans 5:8
Have you ever considered accepting that free gift?
