Christ Died for Us
6 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 5:6-8

Christ died for us
Paul calls it the right time. In other places he calls it the end of times and the fullness of time. The reign of sin and death and the power of the devil had come to an end. The time of Satan closed when the Lord Jesus died on the cross for you and me. This Jesus comes for the ungodly. He comes for sinners. He comes for you and me. The God of heaven and earth values you so much, loves you so much, delights in you so much, that he comes to rescue you and make you new in his death and resurrection. That is exactly what he has done. While we were still sinners, Christ came and bought us back from all our woes and made us his own. The ungodly become the godly in Jesus' blood. So count yourself strong in Christ. Count yourself holy in Jesus. You have been washed in the righteousness of Jesus.
