~~The Cross: The Heart of Christianity

--[Please Read/ 1 Corinthians 2:1-5]--

~~~The cross has become the symbol of Christianity, but it’s so much more than a mere piece of jewelry worn around the neck. The crucifixion of Christ is a central doctrine of our faith, and understanding it correctly is essential for eternal life. In fact, Paul was convinced the cross was the most vital subject he could address.

It’s important for us as believers to understand what happened on the cross—then we too can be thoroughly convinced of its supreme significance. It was not simply the execution of a Jewish man. What transpired in that event was the solution to mankind’s biggest problem: sin and our resulting alienation from God. The crucifixion is the divine transaction that saves us. Only the blood of Christ can cleanse us from sin and reconcile us to the Father. Although the Jews and the Romans viewed the crucifixion as the execution of a criminal, God saw the death of His Son as the perfect atoning sacrifice, which allowed for the justification of sinful mankind.

Nothing else is required to pay for our salvation. To be saved, all we must do is believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for our sins.

[**Friend, We must all accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior in order to be saved [from the curse on this world/ death]. "Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin." -[Hebrews 9:22] //Please do not let another day pass if you have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior.

You can do that right now. "If you confess with your mouth, Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;
For with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
"For 'Whoever will call on the Name of the Lord Jesus will be saved." --[Romans 10:9,10,13].
Jesus loves you so much. He died for you. Take the Bible as a Personal Love Letter From Jesus. That's exactly what it is. God sees you and will help you, reach out to Him. He never turns away a sincere seeker.
