The Love of Jesus: Loved Before You Were Strong

The Love of Jesus: Loved Before You Were Strong

Get a free printable SOAP Bible study based on Romans 5:8 and reflect on the love Jesus showed before you could earn it.

What if Jesus did not wait for you to become stronger before He loved you?

Romans 5:8 reminds us that God demonstrated His love for us while we were still sinners. That means the love of Jesus does not begin after we become impressive, consistent, cleaned up, or easy to love. His love begins with grace.

This free SOAP Bible study will help you slow down, reflect on Scripture, and consider where you may be trying to earn what Christ has already proven at the cross. You will be invited to bring your weakness, shame, regret, and striving honestly before Jesus and receive His love personally.

Why This Study Matters

Many people know that Jesus loves them, but still struggle to receive that love personally. It is easy to believe God’s love becomes more secure when we are doing well and less secure when we are struggling. Romans 5:8 points us back to the cross. God did not demonstrate His love after we fixed ourselves. Christ died for us while we were still sinners.

This study is designed to help you stop striving to become worthy enough for Jesus to love you and begin resting in the love He has already shown.
