Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it. He gave himself for sinners. In Titus 2 we read, he gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify unto himself a peculiar people zealous of good works. That he might redeem us from all our iniquity. In Galatians 1, Paul writes of Christ who gave himself for our sins. That he might deliver us from this present evil world according to the will of God and our Father. He gave himself. So much room has he for sinners that he gave himself for them. He laid down his life for them. He suffered the rejection of this world from the womb to the grave for them.
