“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. The radical reversal: God's love is demonstrated toward us, the sinful and ungodly, not the righteous. Death on behalf of sinners is the demonstration of selfless, sacrificial love. This is the measure of God's character: he loves those most undeserving of love.
