“The message of the cross… to us who are being saved,
it is the power of God.” -1 CORINTHIANS 1:18
It
does not matter what your situation
is; the Cross is sufficient. If the Cross is the power of God for
salvation, then the Cross is also the power of God for your
relationships, your spiritual growth and development, your life’s
purpose, your encouragement and strength, and your victory over
everything which hinders and distracts and comes against you. At one
time in your life you learned you could not save yourself – that was the
work of the Cross.
Now,
accept the work of the
Cross and learn that just as you could not save yourself, neither can
you love God, love your neighbor, forgive those who have sinned against
you, cast out devils, be a bold witness for Christ, or fulfill your
destiny in your own strength. Just as you once relied upon Christ to
save you, so now you must rely upon Christ to live through you every
day. Just as you continually rely upon Christ for salvation, so you must
continually rely upon Christ for everything
else.
