Irmela Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 Q6. (Romans 5:6-8) What do verses 6-8 say about humankind's situation? We were helpless, in no ways able to stand on our own. We were powerless to stand or get out of the moral degradation which we found ourselves in. We were ungodly and rebellious. We were outright sinners, falling far short of living by the law, in fact utterly lawless. What is so remarkable about Christ's death for us? He took our place while we were yet sinners (undeserving of His love), to die for us. He died for (on behalf of) us. What motivates that sacrifice? God's love resulting in grace. "For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourself, it is a gift of God." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faith & hope 2017 Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 In verses 6-8 of the book of Romans, chapter 5, described humankind as being powerless, ungodly and sinners. We are helpless in that we have no ability or moral rights to claim any kind of mercy. No matter the title, no matter how often we pray, no matter how often we attend Bible Study or church services, we all fall short of the glory of God. We all missed the mark. It's not to say that we do not have a relationship with God for indeed we do, it is not an consistent relationship. The most remarkable thing about Jesus' death for us is His willingness to lie down His life each of us. Jesus is omniscient, He knows all things. He knew even the 21st century that we were going to unknowingly or knowlingly reject and rebell against Him. He does'nt hold our imperfections against us, He continues to love us perfectly. Love is what motivate the sacrifice Jesus made for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOLLAM BANDA Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 The humankind’s situation was very powerless, sinful and ungodly. While humankind was still powerless sinful and ungodly, Jesus 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Jerry Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 These verses say that we are sinners and there in nobody that hasn’t sinned. Christ died for us while we were still in our sins. This shows that He loves us very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Wolf Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Q6. (Romans 5:6-8) What do verses 6-8 say about humankind’s situation? What is so remarkable about Christ’s death for us? What motivates that sacrifice? Verse 6 makes the condition of humankind clear - different Bible versions use powerless, weak, ungodly and in verse 8, sinners to describe us when Christ died for us. What is remarkable about Christ's death is that he died FOR us, on OUR BEHALF, while we were a rebellious, ugly, wretched mess. Verse 8 gives the clued to the motivation for the sacrifice: Because of God's love. He chose to demonstrate His love for us in sacrifice.
