The Cross has been a major symbol for Christians for centuries. I like to think of the Cross as "God Greatest Plus Sign." Over the next few weeks we'll look at what has been "added unto us" due to this great plus sign we call the cross.
God's Greatest Plus Sign
Things Added Unto Us Because of the Cross
Over the last two weeks we went over how God has added unto us Power, Redemption, Wisdom, & Eternal Life through the cross. Today let's discuss another.
5. The Holy Spirit
"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you." - John 14:26 NKJV
When Jesus left the disciples He promised them a Helper, the Holy Spirit. He is there to guide us and teach us. The Holy Spirit is a wonderfully powerful tool for Believers in that He is always with us, He is God, and He can give us strength. Paul said in his letter to the Philippians that we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength.
Without the cross, without Christ bridging the gap between humanity and God we would have no connection to the Father through the Holy Spirit.
Disclaimer: These gifts or things added to us because of the Cross are offered to everyone. However not everyone will receive these because it takes faith. You must admit that you are a sinner [imperfect], believe that God sent His Son to die for the forgiveness of your sins. Believe that Jesus rose from the dead, and confess Christ as your Savior and Lord of your life. If you can do this then you can rest assured that you have all these promises from God and more.
Grounded in Christ,
Bro. Austin
