神爱世人，是不是就停在这里了呢？神是爱是说到神的性质，说到神的自己；神爱世人是说到神的动作。神对于我们的爱是有表示的。甚么是神的表示呢？罗马五章八节说，『惟有基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死，神的爱就在此向我们显明了』。神的爱是有表示的。爱若没有到表示的地步，爱是不能了的。如果有爱，就没有法子不把爱表示出来。爱是顶切实的，爱不是虚浮的，爱不是口头的，爱是行为上有表示的。
因为神爱世人，所以神不能不想到人的需要，所以神不能不替人作事情。我们是罪人，我们没有法子，只好到地狱里去。我们是罪人，我们没法子，只能到灭亡的地方去。但是神爱我们，神非把我们救上来不能称祂的心。神说，『我爱你，』神的爱就来替我们把所有的重担除去，把所有的因难除去。所有罪的问题，所有罪人所需要的救恩，神如果爱我们，神就必须替我们解决。所以圣经里给我们看见一个顶大的事实，就是神的爱在基督的死里表明了出来。因为我们是罪人，没有法子自救，所以基督来受死，给我们解决了罪的问题。现在祂的爱成功作一个具体的东西摆在我们中间，现在祂叫我们具体的看到祂的爱。
在这一个大的事实里，你要注意神爱的性质，你要注意神爱的动作，你也要注意神爱的表示。感谢赞美神，神的爱不只是祂里面的感觉，并且也是祂的作为，是祂所表示、所显明出来的。这样就叫祂为我们作了我们所不能作的。因为祂是爱的缘故，因为祂爱世人的缘故，所以救恩就产生出来了。今天人有罪，神有爱，所以就有事情发生了。阿利路亚，有这许多事情发生，就是因为神有爱，人有罪。这二方面摆在一起，福音就发生了。
信息重点：神的爱不是口头的，也不只是里面的感觉，乃有具体的表示。基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死，神的爱就在此向我们显明了。因为人有罪、神有爱，基督就来为我们解决罪的问题，使救恩成为实际。
应用祷告：主耶稣，感谢你在我还作罪人的时候就为我死，使神的爱具体地向我显明。求你使我不只知道你的爱，更接受、经历并享受这爱，天天活在你所成就的救恩里。阿们。

The Expression of God’s Love — Rom. 5:8
Does God’s love for the world stop here? God is love speaks of God’s nature, of God Himself; God loves the world speaks of God’s action. God’s love toward us has an expression. What is the expression of God’s love? Romans 5:8 says, “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” God’s love has an expression. If love never reaches the point of being expressed, love cannot be completed. If there is love, there is no way for it not to be expressed. Love is most real; love is not vanity; love is not merely words; love has expression in action.
For God loves the world, God cannot but think of man’s need, and God cannot but do something for man. We are sinners; we have no way out and can only go to hell. We are sinners; we have no way, but can only go to the place of perdition. But God loves us, and God’s heart is not satisfied unless He saves us. God says, “I love you,” and God’s love comes to remove all our burdens and take away all our difficulties. If God loves us, God must solve the problem of sin and provide the salvation that sinners need. Therefore the Bible shows us a great fact: that God’s love was expressed in the death of Christ. Because we are sinners unable to save ourselves, Christ came and died to resolve the problem of sin for us. Now, His love has become a tangible reality set before us; He enables us to see His love in a concrete way.
In this great fact, you need to pay attention to the nature of God’s love, the action of God’s love, and the expression of God’s love. Thanks and praise to God — God’s love is not merely a feeling within Him; it is also His action — something He has expressed and manifested. Thus, He has done for us what we could not do for ourselves. Salvation came into being because of who He is — Love — and because He loves the world. Today, man is sinful and God is loving; consequently, something has taken place. Hallelujah! All of this has come to pass precisely because God possesses love and man possesses sin. When these two factors are brought together, the Gospel emerges.
Message Main Points: God’s love is not merely verbal, nor merely an inward feeling, but has a true expression. Christ died for us while we were still sinners, and God’s love was thereby manifested to us. Because man has sin and God has love, Christ came to solve for us the problem of sin, making salvation a reality.
Dally Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank You for dying for me while I was still a sinner, so that God’s love was truly manifested to me. Make me not only to know Your love but to receive, experience and enjoy this love, living daily in the salvation You have accomplished. Amen.
