THE POWER OF THE CROSS

THE POWER OF THE CROSS

At the cross of Calvary, in Jesus Christ:

• We were justified – made legally righteous before God – by His blood (Romans 5:9).
• We were reconciled – restored to friendly terms with God – by His death (Rom 5:10).
• We were accepted – received as favorable objects by God – by His death (Eph 1:6).
• We were adopted – purchased as sons from hell’s orphanage – by His death (Gal 4:5).
• We were redeemed – bought back from just condemnation – by His death (I Pet 1:18).
• We were washed – our sins purged away in God’s sight – by His blood (Rev 1:5).
• We were sanctified – made formally holy before God – by His death (Hebrews 10:10).
• He became our atonement – sacrificial gift of appeasement – by His death (Rom 5:11).
• He became our propitiation – sacrificial gift of appeasement – by death (Romans 3:25).
• Some places have several aspects of His death’s profit (Rom 8:29-30; I Cor 1:30; 6:11).
• We were delivered from the wrath of God (Rom. 5:9).
• Our obligation to serve our sinful nature was broken and a new nature was born within us (Rom. 5:11, 12).
• We were taken out from under the rule of the Law (Rom. 8:2).
• The rule of death has been broken (2 Tim. 1:10).
