God loves sinners through His grace, demonstrating that His acceptance is based on Christ’s righteousness rather than our own.
The question of how God can love sinners is answered by recognizing the role of grace in God's economy of salvation. As Christians, we acknowledge that in ourselves, we are devoid of any merit or goodness (Romans 3:23), yet through His grace, God chooses to love us because of Christ. It’s not based on our actions, but rather on the perfect righteousness of Jesus, who fulfilled the law and bore our sins (2 Corinthians 5:21). This doctrinal truth illustrates that God's love is conditioned solely upon His Son’s atonement and not upon our works. Consequently, the beauty of grace allows sinners to be loved and redeemed, reflecting the depth of God’s mercy.
