The Power of the Cross

What does the cross of Jesus mean to you? To those who don't believe Christ died for their sins, the cross is meaningless as far as life today. It's simply something that happened to a man centuries ago. To you who believe, Christ crucified is the power of God unto salvation.

Unbelief honestly says, "What could Christ crucified possibly have to do with me?" Faith says, "He died in my place. He suffered and died for my sins." If you believe that Jesus took your place at the cross, and died for your sins, then you have experienced the power of God unto salvation. 

You are assured that God loves you at the cross of Jesus. You are accepted by God in Christ. You may even be amazed that others don't understand, nor believe. The difference is the experience of God's power through the Holy Spirit working in your heart.

"For the message of the cross is foolishness
to those who are perishing,
but to us who are being saved
it is the power of God."

1 Corinthians 1:18
