1 John 5:11
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
God has given us eternal life; the life is in Jesus. Whosoever has the Son, has life; whoever rejects the Son, rejects life!
There’s hope for all who believes in Jesus Christ. There’s hope and salvation for the sinner who repents and confesses Jesus as Lord and Savior.
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
There’s hope for all who turn from wickedness to the righteousness of God.
There’s Power In The Cross because Jesus shed his precious blood. He was nailed on the cross, He became sin for us.
What can wash away our sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
“When I think about The Power Of The Cross, it reminds me of how powerful our God is.”
“When I think about the power of the cross it reminds me of how God so loved the world that he sacrificed his own beloved son Jesus for sinners like me and you.”
That’s Love!
~The Power of the Cross~
He died on the cross at Calvary and took on the world’s sins that we may have eternal life. God loves the sinner but hates sin.
John 3: 16 says,
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
~The Power Of The Cross~
Jesus went through so much, He suffered much abuse, He was mocked, He was rejected, He was beaten, He was falsely accused and misused. He was even betrayed by one of his chosen disciples, Judas Iscariot, for 30 pieces of silver. My God…My God.
He bared his cross. He was marched to judgment hall after judgment hall. Jesus endured so much hardship. He took the sins of the world on his shoulders. My God…My God.
The Power of the cross will save the lowest of the low and the worst of the worst. That’s just how powerful God is!
The power of the cross can reach down deep and change a hateful heart to a heart of love.
The power of the cross gives hope to the ones who’s on the verge of giving up. The power of the cross will transform, redeem, and set men, women, boys, and girls free from the chains of spiritual death.
~The Power Of The Cross~
There’s salvation in the power of the cross, there’s healing in the power of the cross, there’s forgiveness, peace, love, and joy in the power of the cross because of JESUS!
His father had to turn his face from him because of sin. Jesus didn’t have any sin. He took on the world’s sin. That’s Love!
God looks at us only through his son Jesus!
We must go to the father through his son, Jesus Christ, who intercedes on our behalf. We are made righteous only through Jesus Christ!
The power of the cross is powerful because of Jesus! Jesus is the only way!!
Whosoever chooses to reject Jesus will not have eternal life (Heaven). Jesus gives us all a choice.
2 Peter 3:9 says
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Jesus hung on the cross from the 6th to the 9th hour for our sins. All that they had did to him, he still asked his father to forgive them for they know not what they do. My God! What a great example for us to follow.
“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” — Luke 23:34.
Jesus died, He was buried, and He got up from the grave with all power. The grave couldn’t hold him, and neither could death stop him!
The power of the cross, Jesus has risen, He’s alive!
The resurrection of Jesus Christ!
(See Luke 23)
Be Encouraged!
All Glory To God!
