The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 5:6-7

For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet ( literally,for ) peradventure for the good man some would even dare to die . The general purport of Romans 5:7 is obvious, viz. to show how Christ's death for the ungodly transcends all human instances of self-sacrifice for others. But the exact import of the language used is not equally plain. That of the first clause, indeed, and its connection with... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 5:6-8

The great love. The realization of the love of God in the Christian consciousness is the crowning Christian evidence; and it is the work of God himself by his Spirit. But an historical fact is used by the Spirit of God as the instrumentality of his work of love; and it is because we believe in the fact that we realize the love which gives us such a blessed life. Yes, "God commendeth his love toward us;" and the great fact of commendation is this, "Christ died for us." I. THE LOVE .... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 5:6-11

The love of God commended. It is a most remarkable phrase, this description which is given in the eighth verse, of God commending his own love. We have, indeed, in other portions of Scripture, the Divine Being represented as a heavenly Merchantman, setting forth the blessings of the gospel as a merchantman might set forth his wares. "He, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 5:8

But God commendeth his own love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us . The emphatic "his own" is lost sight of in the Authorized Version. It is not in contrast to our love to God, but expressive of the thought that the love of God himself towards men was displayed in the death of Christ. This is important for our true conception of the light in which the mysterious doctrine of the atonement is regarded in Holy Scripture. It is not (as represented by some... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Romans 5:7

For scarcely ... - The design of this verse and the following is, to illustrate the great love of God by comparing it with what man was willing to do. “It is an unusual occurrence, an event which is all that we can hope for from the highest human benevolence and the purest friendship, that one would be willing to die for a good man. There are none who would be willing to die for a man who was seeking to do us injury, to calumniate our character, to destroy our happiness or our property. But... read more

But God commendeth ... - 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 people.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. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Romans 5:6-8

Romans 5:6-8. For How can we now doubt of God’s love, since when we were without strength Either to think, will, or do any thing good; were utterly incapable of making any atonement for our transgressions, or of delivering ourselves from the depth of guilt and misery into which we were plunged; in due time Neither too soon nor too late, but in that very point of time which the wisdom of God knew to be more proper than any other; Christ died for the ungodly For the sake, and instead... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Romans 5:1-11

The believer’s assurance (5:1-11)When God justifies people (declares them to be righteous, or puts them right with him), he brings them into a relationship of peace with himself. In his grace he accepts them into his holy presence, and assures them of one day sharing his glory (5:1-2). Believers’ anticipation of future glory is what the Bible calls hope. Hope in this sense is not a mere wish for something, but the expectation of something that is certain. It is an assured belief that enables... read more
