THE CROSS

THE CROSS

The cross is where Christ died as a substitute by offering Himself as a sacrifice to atone for sins and reconcile His people to God.

In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins,

according to the riches of his grace;

Ephesians 1:7(KJV)

And, having made peace through the blood of his cross,

by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say,

whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

Colossians 1:20(KJV)

It is where the Creator died for the created, the just died for the unjust, God died for sinful man.

For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

1 Peter 3:18(KJV)

It is where God’s love and justice were upheld. His justice was satisfied as Christ voluntarily bore the punishment of His people. God’s love provided one way for His people to be saved.

Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

Romans 3:25(KJV)

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 5:8(KJV)

It is a reminder of how revolting and detestable sin is to God. Not sparing His own Son, God crushed Jesus for bearing our sin.

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

1 Peter 2:24(KJV)

With Blessing in Christ,

David & Gay

The Way. He is the only access to God. The Truth, His Word is the supreme authority for faith. The Life, He is the only hope for those dead in sin.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 14:6(KJV)
