Charles Spurgeon Commentary Romans 5:5-6

"and hope putteth not to shame; because the love of God hath been shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given unto us. For while we were yet weak, in due season Christ died for the ungodly." — Romans 5:5-6 (ASV)

And hope makes not ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given to us. For where we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

What is the connection here? Is it not this: that the Holy Ghost makes us feel what a wonderful love the love of God is to us because when we were without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly? Wonderful love! When we were Godless and Christless, in due time Christ died for us.
