Christian Book Notes

Jesus Christ’ death on the cross means everything to me. With out His death I would be headed to or in hell sperated from God forever.On the cross Jesus showed me what love is and gave me an example of how I should love and live my life. On the cross Christ took me and my and the whole worlds sin and crucified it so that I and all the other belivers in the world would no longer be a slave to sin but a slave to Him

Christ’s work on the cross is my salvation. It is my only hope of heaven. It is my provision of a righteousness I need before a Holy God, which I cannot provide for myself, but God has provided through the substitutionary sacrifice of His Son. To God be the Glory, great things He has done!!

If Christ did not work on the cross, I’m doomed! Because of Christ’s work on the cross, I can now, out of gratitude, live for him. By his death, I live.

I was completely evil and rightfully headed for eternity under the wrath of Almighty God. I was blind to see this about myself, deaf to hear this about myself and dead to understanding this about myself. God’s justice does nothing for me except it demands the payment for my many transgressions. I was spiritually broke and could not afford the payment necessary to free me from my pending doom. Christ’s atonement is that payment. It means everything to me. His work on the cross is the very work that gives me the power to daily kill the desires of my flesh and live for God. I am crucified with Christ. It really is everything to me.

Without the cross, there is no salvation. Simple as that. The death of Christ provided atonement for my sins. In my place condemned He stood. An amazing thing to be loved so much by God that His Son dies in our place. Makes me both leap for joy and shudder in my sin.

God showed his righteousness by the death of Jesus on the cross. Christ also fulfilled the Old Testament sacrifical laws through his death on the cross. Without the cross we would still be under the wrath of God because of our sins. Jesus became sin for us, who knew no sin so that we might become the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus. He took my sin and exchanged it for his righteousness. Through the cross, I can experience the grace and mercy of God everyday until I see Jesus face to face.

To the cross I cling, all hope is in Christ’s victory over sin. It has revolutionized and redefined who I am, not only positionally before God, but worked out into how I live this life. To Him be all glory and power. It is the power of God unto salvation.

My only comfort in life and death is that I am not my own, but belong in body and soul, in life and death, to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ. Heidelburg One.

The cross gives me my Father God, my life hidden in Christ, my hope, my anchor, my eternal joy! Life without the cross is death.

Jesus Christ is the gospel. The good news is revealed in His birth, life, death, resurrection and ascension. Christ’s crucifixion is the heart of the gospel, His resurrection is the power of the gospel and His ascension is the glory of the gospel. Christ’s death is a substitutionary and propitiatory sacrifice to God for our sins. It satisfies the demands of God’s holy justice and appeases His holy wrath. By so atoning for our sins, Jesus demonstrates God’s mysterious love and reveals His amazing grace. Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and man. There is no other name by which men must be saved. At the heart of all sound doctrine is the Cross of Jesus Christ and the infinite privilege that redeemed sinners have of glorifying God because of what He has accomplished.

Therefore, we should want all that takes place in our churches and ministries to proceed from and be related to the death, burial, and resurrection of the Son.

The best way to sum up what the cross means to me is by this acrostic.
C.R.O.S.S.–Christ’s Righteousness Only Saves Sinners. And in the words of Paul, I am chief among them. (1Tim 1:15)
