LOVED AT MY WORST | Ptr. Marwell Velasco | February 17, 2026 | AGG Dawnwatch Prayer Main Text: Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” In this heartfelt Dawnwatch sermon, Marwell Velasco brings us back to the core of the Gospel—a love that did not wait for us to change before it reached us. February is often called the “love month,” filled with hearts, chocolates, roses, and sweet stories. But for many people, this season quietly highlights pain instead of joy—broken relationships, disappointments, rejection, and emotional exhaustion. In the middle of that tension, Romans 5:8 speaks with stunning clarity: God loved us at our worst, not at our best. The Apostle Paul wrote Romans to a mixed audience—religious and non-religious, Jews and Gentiles, moral and broken people alike. In chapter 5, Paul makes it unmistakably clear that salvation is not a reward for good behavior, religious effort, or spiritual consistency. Before Christ died for us, we were described as weak, sinful, and even enemies of God. And yet, that was the exact moment God chose to demonstrate His love. This message unpacks three life-shaping Gospel truths: 1. God Didn’t Love Your Potential—He Loved the Real You God did not fall in love with a future, cleaned-up version of you. He loved you knowing your failures, hidden sins, repeated mistakes, and inner chaos. Grace is not God believing in what you could be—it is God loving you despite what you are. Transformation does not begin with pretending, but with honesty before God. 2. The Cross Is Not a Reward for Good People—It Is a Rescue for Broken Ones The cross exists because we could not save ourselves. It is not a trophy for the religious or a medal for the consistent—it is a rescue mission for those who are drowning. Jesus did not come for people who had everything together, but for the lost, the broken, and the helpless. Salvation is by grace alone, from beginning to end. 3. If He Loved You at Your Worst, He Will Not Abandon You in Your Process Many believers struggle with the fear that God’s love runs out when progress is slow. But God’s love is not based on the speed of your growth—it is anchored in the finished work of Christ. The same God who started the work in you is committed to completing it. Your process is not proof of failure; it is evidence that God is still at work. Core Reminder: You are not chasing God’s love. You are responding to a love that already chased you. God loved you when you were far from Him. God loves you now as you are learning to walk with Him. And God will continue to love you as you grow, stumble, rise, and mature. This message is not an excuse to stay in sin—it is an invitation to trust deeper, walk honestly, and live securely under grace. True freedom, peace, and transformation begin when we believe this truth: He loved us at our worst—and He loves us still.
