How do we know that Christ died for the ungodly?

Answered in 3 sources

We know that Christ died for the ungodly because the Scriptures affirm it, declaring that while we were sinners, He gave His life for us.

The certainty that Christ died for the ungodly is rooted in Scripture itself. Romans 5:8 explicitly states, 'But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.' This proclamation represents the core of the gospel message and is a necessary truth for all believers. It's not based on our merit but on God's sovereign decision to demonstrate His love by providing Christ as a substitute for sinners. Therefore, we see that Christ's sacrifice was not contingent upon our righteousness or goodness, but upon His grace and love for us, regardless of our state.
