Look to Rom 5:8, where it is writen: SINISTHSIN DE THN EAUTOU AGAPHN EIS hHMAS
hO QEOS hOTI ETI hAMARTWLWN ONTWN hHMWN CRISTOW hUPER hHMWN APEQANEN.
The love of God is directly linked to the death of Christ. And moreover Paul
uses the verb SUNISTANAI which maens: to bring toghether, to join, to introduce
sb, to show. I like the rendition: "thus God **introduces** his love to us that
Christ died for us even us beeng sinners".
Blaho, pastor
