God shows his love for us.

Romans 5:6-9, For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.

What amazing grace, for Christ purchased our justification even though all of our sin was in the future! His grace covered all those that God had overlooked in the past, and rolled forward over all that we have committed ad ever will commit. This makes no earthly sense, but in the timelessness of God it brings glory to his name forever. His wrath is real; why not join the celebration of his grace now?

We celebrate your amazing grace, the love you have for us in sending your only son; his love in going to the cross to save us!
