Romans5:8
But God commendeth, etc. God has exhibited or showed his love in this unusual and remarkable manner.
His love. His kind feeling; his beneficence; his willingness to submit to sacrifice to do good to others.
While we were yet sinners. And of course his enemies. In this, his love surpasses all that has ever been manifested among men.
Christ died for us. In our stead; to save us from death, he took our place; and, by dying himself on the cross, saved us from dying eternally in hell.
(m) "while we were yet sinners" Jn 15:13, 1Pet 3:18, 1Jn 3:16
