The Importance of the Cross to Salvation!

The Cross of Jesus Christ is the pivotal element in the doctrine of salvation, representing the ultimate expression of God’s love and the means by which humanity is redeemed.

Without the Cross there would be no atonement for sin, no reconciliation with God, and no path to eternal life.

The message of the Cross, though seemingly foolish to the perishing, is the power of God to those being saved.

As stated in 1 Corinthians 1:18 TLB: “I know very well how foolish it sounds to those who are lost, when they hear that Jesus died to save them. But we who are saved recognize this message as the very power of God.”

This power originates from profound divine love. Romans 5:8 TLB reveals, “But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.” On the Cross, Christ vicariously bore our sins.

1 Peter 2:24 TLB explains, “He personally carried the load of our sins in His own body when He died on the Cross so that we can be finished with sin and live a good life from now on. For His wounds have healed ours!”

Through this act, believers are freed from sin’s penalty and power.

Additionally, the Cross affects reconciliation and peace. Colossians 1:20 TLB notes that through Christ’s death on the Cross, God “has made peace with God for all by His blood.”

Paul’s personal commitment underscores its centrality in Galatians 6:14 TLB: “As for me, God forbid that I should boast about anything except the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that Cross, my interest in all the attractive things of the world was killed long ago, and the world’s interest in me is also long dead.”

Thus, the Cross is indispensable to salvation. It stands as the foundation of the Christian faith, inviting all to receive the gift of grace through faith in Christ’s finished work on Calvary.

For God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son that Whosoever Believeth in Him shall NOT perish but have Everlasting Life!

HOW TO GET TO HEAVEN WHEN YOU DIE:

How to be “Born Again”

John 3:16 makes it pretty clear: You have to Believe on Jesus Christ and you will be saved! No matter who you are! No matter what you have done wrong in your life, KNOW THAT GOD, JESUS AND THE HOLY SPIRIT LOVES YOU!

To “Believe” upon Jesus means that:

**********************************************************************

1.) You Believe that Jesus is the Son of God, that He died on the Cross at Calvary as payment for ALL of your sins, was buried in a borrowed tomb and Arose from the dead on the 3rd Day we call Easter and accept Him as your Personal Savior by Faith;

**********************************************************************

2. You Repent of your sinful ways (Breaking God’s Laws in the 10 Commandments:

a.) Worship only God,

b.) Have no other gods before Him,

c.) Don’t use His Name in vain,

d.) Remember the Sabbath and keep it Holy,

e.) Honor your Parents,

f.) Don’t kill anyone,

g.) Don’t commit adultery,

h.) Don’t Steal,

i.) Don’t lie about other people or yourself &

j.) Don’t Covet anything that is your neighbors) and try to stop sinning;

*********************************************************************

3.) You give complete control of your life to Jesus Christ!

Doing these 3 things, you will be “Born Again” Spiritually and the Holy Spirit will enter your Soul, SEAL your position PERMANENTLY in Heaven and WRITE YOUR NAME IN THE “LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE!” Again: See Revelation Chapter 20 Verse 15 to see why that is CRITICALLY important:

“Revelation 20:15 – And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire”
