And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. 6 When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. --- Romans 5:5-6 V5-6 - All three members of the Trinity are involved in salvation. The Father loved us so much that he sent his Son to bridge the gap between us (John 3:16). The Father and the Son send the Holy Spirit to fill our life with love and to enable us to live by his power (Acts 1:8). With all this loving care, how can we do less than serve him completely! V6 - We were weak and helpless because we could do nothing on our own to save ourselves. Someone had to come and rescue us. Christ came at exactly the right time in history---according to God’s own schedule. God controls all history, and he controlled the timing, method, and events surrounding Jesus’ death. --- Life Application Study Bible notes PRAYER Heavenly Father, Thank you for generous and abundant love poured into my heart though Your Holy Spirit. Your love is never changing and never conditional. Keep pouring Your love more and more into my heart, so that there will be less and less room for shame, anxiety, fear and pride. Thank you that You never put to shame those who love You. Help me turn from the past and focus my gaze on You, knowing that You have all I need to complete me. Father, make me complete in You. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen
