Romans 5:6 : For while we were yet weak, in due sea-son Christ died for the ungodly. We were weak when Christ died for us, or rather we were weak up to the time Christ died for us. The language does not mean that we are now unable to believe God nor do what he commands. It refers to man's helplessness without the death of Christ. Men were condemned sinners, with no means of escape from sin and condemnation. They were helpless. But the death of Christ opened up the way of escape, and removed the weakness spoken of in this verse. Christ died in due time--at the time which God in his wisdom had selected. "But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his Son" (Galatians 4:4). At the proper time Christ died for the ungodly for those without God.
