God Loves Sinners?
Will I deny myself, take up my cross every day, and follow Jesus?
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
— Romans 5:8

Love is the gift of self. Here, Paul says that God gave the gift of himself to us while we were still sinners. There is never any question about God's love for us. He is love; he can only ever be love. The question is, do I love God? Will I give the gift of self to him?
