The meaning of the cross (Galatians 06:14)
Contents Our Christianity is the religion of the cross. The cross is the life and pride of the saints. The cross is the strength and pride of the saints. The cross contains all of Christianity. So, when the saints know this truth, they build the temple and build the cross tower on the bell tower. Some wear a cross accessory on their chest. Wherever we go in the world, we often show our faith through the cross. Then I would like to briefly explain the meaning of the cross. Our Christian cross has several meanings. Let's take a look at some of them
1. The cross of love.
At the heart of the lesson Jesus taught and showed in the world is love. The cross contains the love of God who loves sinners. You are expressing the love of Jesus, who humbled himself and sacrificed himself in accordance with God's will.
God's love revealed on the cross
1) Humble love.
2) It is sacrificial love.
3) It is the love of forgiveness.
and the characteristics of love
1) It is altruistic love.
2) It is voluntary. It is an example of love without greed and those who love themselves with joy. Love takes precedence over courtesy. Love can transcend all conditions and positions.
2 The cross of salvation.
The cross is a frame, not an entertainment device. It is a form of extreme punishment that executes terrible criminals. It was not because of his own sins that Jesus died on the cross. Because of the sins of God's people. The cross satisfies God's love and justice for sinners at the same time. God placed the sins of his people on Jesus' shoulders.
Jesus' cross
1) It is the cross of atonement.
2) It is the cross of faith (1 Corinthians 1:18).
3) It is the cross of grace.
There is no special reason or condition for God to put our sins on Jesus. It is simply the faithfulness of our Heavenly Father. It's a blessing. Receiving grace is called faith.
3. It is the cross of victory.
Christianity's victory is more eternal happiness than conquest. All the conditions that hinder this happiness were resolved through the cross that Jesus carried. Jesus carried the cross
1) He gave us happiness from our guilt. It is a sin to take away human happiness.
2) You became a child of God. God's children are God's family. And they are members of the body of Christ.
① We are protected by God. The devil can't control us. Even though we are tempted and tempted, we cannot do anything about it.
② It is to listen to what you ask. We do not know how great God's grace is the answer to prayer.
③ He allows us to inherit the inheritance of God. The saints have the eternal inheritance of God.
4. The attitude of the saints
1) You must have faith in the cross.
2) Be thankful
3) Be proud.
4) It must be communicated.
