How does God's love relate to our sinfulness?

Answered in 1 source

God's love is profound because He loves us despite our sinfulness, demonstrating grace and mercy toward unworthy sinners.

The relationship between God's love and human sinfulness is a profound mystery of grace. God, in His absolute holiness, sees us as unholy and deserving of condemnation due to our sins. Jeremiah 31:3 poignantly reflects this divine love, which persists despite our moral failings. God's love does not negate His justice; instead, it manifests through mercy, as He chooses to love 'maggots and worms,' as the preacher describes us in our depravity. This highlights the beauty of the gospel—the reality that while we are sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8), showcasing the true nature of love that sacrifices for the undeserving. Thus, understanding this dynamic leads believers to greater humility and gratitude for God's grace.
