Posts Tagged ‘Cross’

Our absolute need for the cross of Christ for salvation is often attacked by subtly marginalizing our focus upon it, that is to say, upon the absolute necessity of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. (See 1 Corinthians 15:1-4.)

On the contrary, God’s Word makes the cross (the Gospel) center stage,

“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God” 1 Corinthians 1:18.

Often, Christians will not readily embrace teachings which attack the cross if they’re presented overtly. However, by subtly (and sometimes not so subtly) shifting the narrative, many professing and immature believers will eventually not only accept this unbiblical idea. They will also teach it.
