Series 06 – The Cross

Description

ACCESS TO THE SOC ONLINE SCHOOL, SERIES 6 THE CROSS FOR U.S. RESIDENTS ONLY

The Cross is the pathway of every true Christian’s life. We see that in the book of Romans, where two aspects of salvation are given: Justification by the blood, and deliverance through the Cross. God deals with the human race through two representative men, Adam and Christ. God sees two family trees: Adam’s family and Christ’s family. If our source of life is to change, we must change families.

As Christ, “the last Adam” died, He carried the whole family into the grave, and God provided the end. Through death, burial and resurrection, we pass from the old family into a new family. We can be liberated from death, sin, the law, and flesh by the Cross. God intends this new life to be more than an experience; it is to be a new way of living, a new purpose for existence.

The Cross is not to be a doorway to selfish attainment, but an end to selfishness. May God destroy every attempt of using the Cross, instead of dying on the Cross. When we become dead to self and alive to God, the door is open for God to give victory and deliverance. In God’s planning, the Cross and the crucified one become the gateway to life.
