3 Things : About The Cross

[Behold]

The Cross :

1.) Is where God and Man may meet and become "One" Spiritually.
The Cross is the Eternal Gateway which allows any and all sinners to enter God's Kingdom, forever.

The Preaching of the Cross:

2.) Is how God calls mankind to "come and become ONE with ME".
The "Preaching of the Cross.. is THE POWER.....OF GOD.....Unto Salvation".
No Cross = No Salvation
No "preaching of the Cross" = No TRUE Gospel being preached.


3.) Jesus didnt have to go to The Cross.

Thats a fact.

Jesus went to the Cross for 2 reasons.

A.) Because He wanted to please His Father, by obeying His Father's will.

This is why Jesus said...>" Not My will, but YOURS (Father) i will do".

B.) The other reason Jesus went to the Cross is because Jesus loves you more then you realize.
Jesus loves you so much, that even tho it cost Him His LIFE, He was willing to die just for YOU. (And He did).... = So that by His Sacrifice on The Cross, you can realize just how much God loves you, and Just how far God is willing to go so that you can be restored into God's Eternal Family.
See, Jesus understood that "If i die for them ALL, then ALL of them may come to the Cross by FAITH.. and become "IN Christ", "ONE with God".... Redeemed, Forgiven, and : ....
= Born again = Forever.
---------------------------------------------------------------

Now, reader...

See what you just read. And notice the part about God's infinite and amazing love for you?
How does that make you feel?
And THAT, reader, is how it makes an unbeliever feel, when you tell them that GOSPEL.
See, that is how you "win souls"... That is how you "lead people to Christ".
= You show them God's love, as Jesus's love, and that is : The CROSS.
That is the POWER of the Cross, and it is so powerful, when it's heard, that faith comes to the heart of the hearer, just by hearing it.. As that is the power of God, unto Salvation.. That is the Holy Spirit using that Gospel of LOVE to bring a sinner to Christ.
Remember that, as you are going to have opportunity to tell someone.
Show them that Love of God.. Show them that CROSS of Christ.

= Share that "Gospel of the Grace of God"..

- God bless you.

We fail to preach the Cross correctly when we neglect to highlight its saving efficacy ! One writer wrote:

. The Gospel is reduced to a truncated word about the cross, without its efficacy, design, power and purpose. That by ‘one offering He hath perfected forever them that are sanctified’ (Heb. 10:14) belongs in the closet, it is too definite. Soteriology and the saving efficacy of the cross in Christology, likewise join God’s Sovereignty in the theological closet, especially on the mission field. https://www.godsonlygospel.com/the-doctrines-of-the-gospel-part-2 paragraph 14,15

Its because of its saving efficacy Paul gloried/boasted only in it Gal 6:14

14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

To be crucified to the world, and the world crucified to us is Salvation folks

nope Paul didn't mention salvation you added that to scripture once again.

Those who want to impress people by means of the flesh are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13 Not even those who are circumcised keep the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your circumcision in the flesh. 14 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which[a] the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

I quoted scripture so you are the one denying the truth and projecting.

You still denied truth, quoting a verse of scripture doesnt prevent one from denying truth

your interpretation ( eisegesis ) in fact denies the truth.

Jesus is Salvation...

See The Cross, for the Update....

So...Actually, '""being crucified to the world, and the world to the believer""", is their Discipleship perfected, because they have "worked out their salvation". They have gained full "knowledge of God"..., and they would never be a Calvinist or any "Cultist" who is found trying to SELL a cult theology like Calvinism, or Mormonism or Catholicism.

@Behold
