COT:
Devotional Reflection on Romans 5:8
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

Every man knows the feeling of owing something. Whether it’s bills, responsibilities, or expectations—we live in a world that constantly demands payment. And spiritually? We owed a debt we could never afford.

But Jesus stepped in and paid it in full. Romans 5:8 reminds us that His love wasn’t conditional. He didn’t wait for us to get our lives together. While we were still in sin, still wrestling with guilt, pride, fear, and failure — He paid our spiritual “taxes” with His life.

Think about that. Every rep today might’ve pushed your body, but the real weight we carried — the weight of sin — was lifted at the cross. Jesus didn’t just cover the cost; He became the payment. That’s what makes grace so powerful. It’s not earned. It’s received.

So when you feel like you’re not enough, when you start to believe you have to earn God’s favor or prove your worth — stop. Look at the cross. That’s where your debt was canceled. That’s where your freedom was bought.

Leadership Takeaway:
You don’t have to earn God’s love or leadership strength — it was already paid for. Lead from a place of freedom, not fear. Walk confidently, knowing the debt is cleared and your identity is secure in Christ.
