“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we
were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans
5:8 NKJV
But
Christ died for sinners, neither righteous nor good; not only such as were
useless, but such as were guilty and obnoxious; not only such as there would be
no loss of should they perish, but such whose destruction would greatly redound
to the glory of God's justice, being malefactors and criminals that ought to
die.
Some
think he alludes to a common distinction the Jews had of their people into ndyqym
- righteous, hsdym - merciful (compare Isaiah 17:1), and rssym
- wicked.
Now
herein God commended his love, not only proved or evidenced his love (he might
have done that at a cheaper rate), but magnified it and made it illustrious.
This circumstance did greatly magnify and advance his love, not
only put it past dispute, but rendered it the object of the greatest wonder and
admiration: "Now my creatures shall see that I love them, I will give
them such an instance of it as shall be without parallel."
Commendeth
his love, as merchants commend their goods when they would put them off.
This
commending of his love was in order to the shedding abroad of his love in our
hearts by the Holy Ghost.
He
evinces his love in the most winning, affecting, endearing way imaginable.
“While we were yet sinners,” implying that we were not
to be always sinners, there should be a change wrought; for he died to save us,
not in our sins, but from our sins; but we were yet sinners when he died for
us. - Matthew Henry
