I knew an Irishman who, on discovering his lost condition, took his Bible and went into a quiet corner of a field. As he searched God's holy Word, longing to know how he could receive forgiveness, he read the scripture: "For when we were yet without strength, in due time CHRIST DIED FOR THE UNGODLY." Romans 5:66For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. (Romans 5:6).
On seeing it he leaped into the air, and clapping his hands exclaimed, "Christ died for the ungodly! Christ died for the ungodly!" adding, "That's me! Do you hear that? Christ died for the ungodly!" And there and then he rejoiced in Christ as his Savior.
And now, you who read this, why should you not also rejoice? "God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:88But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8).
You are a sinner; Christ died for sinners; therefore Christ died for you. Believing that Christ died for others won't do your soul any good. You must believe that He died for you, before you can have eternal life.
Take your place then among the "ungodly," and believe on that blessed One who died for all your sins, and be saved for all eternity.
"I seek no other argument,
I want no other plea;
It is enough that Jesus died,
And that He died for me."
