God’s Word On What Does The Cross Represent
God’s Word On What Does The Cross Represent
Luke 23:32
CROSS, . . . Two others, both criminals, were led out to be executed with him. The Cross, represents so many things… and I have included proof there was and there was a Jesus who hung on that cross that dreadful day he got beaten so bad, kicked, spit on, laughed at, kicked scoffed at.
So before you say there wasn’t a Jesus and a Cross, please think again and change the way of your thinking. Because, one day soon you will see “Jesus Coming In The Clouds” by then for you to believe will be to late!
It Represents Jesus’ Love For You and The Whole World… so, Please Understand what Jesus Did for you and what the “Cross He Died On” represents.
The cross was a Roman instrument of capital punishment, a form of execution reserved for the worst criminals, the most shameful death imaginable.
Christ used the cross as a picture of the kind of commitment that he expects from his followers-a commitment that makes us willing to suffer anything, including torture, ridicule, shame, and death, for the sake of Christ.
WHY DID JESUS HAVE TO DIE ON THE CROSS?
He canceled the record that contained the charges against us. He took it and destroyed it by nailing it to Christ’s cross. Christ’s death was necessary to take away the guilty verdict against us and the judgment that was waiting for us as a result of our sin.
Colossians 2:14
Our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin.
Romans 6:6
He gave his life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us his very own people, totally committed to doing what is right. Christ’s death on the cross was the only way for us to be saved from the power of sin over our lives.
Titus 2:14
By him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of his blood on the cross. Christ’s death was the means God used to bring us back to himself-to reconcile us with him and to bring us into intimate fellowship with him.
Colossians 1:20
The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. Without Christ’s death on the cross, we would face eternal condemnation and death. But by his cross Christ offers us the free gift of eternal life.

Galatians 3:13

|
In human form he obediently humbled himself even further by dying a criminal’s death on a cross. The cross was a Roman instrument of capital punishment, a form of execution reserved for the worst criminals, the most shameful death imaginable. |
Philippians 2:8
|
|
You know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. . . . He paid for you with the precious lifeblood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God. The cross is a symbol of the price that Christ paid to ransom us from sin and death. |
1 Peter 1:18-19
|
|
If any of you wants to be my follower . . . you must put aside your selfish ambition, shoulder your cross, and follow me. If you try to keep your life for yourself, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will find true life. 36 And how do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul in the process? 37 Is anything worth more than your soul? 38 If a person is ashamed of me and my message in these adulterous and sinful days, I, the Son of Man, will be ashamed of that person when I return in the glory of my Father with the holy angels. |
Mark 8:34-35,36,37
|
|
We know what real love is because Christ gave up his life for us. And so we also ought to give up our lives for our Christian brothers and sisters. Because of the extreme sacrifice involved in Christ’s willingness to die on a cross, the cross represents the kind of love that we are called to have for our Christian brothers and sisters. |
1 John 3:16
|
|
They have defeated him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of their testimony. And they were not afraid to die. Christ’s blood and his cross represent the ultimate victory that we have in him. |

Romans 6:23
PROMISE FROM GOD: . . . Just think how much more the blood of Christ will purify our hearts from deeds that lead to death so that we can worship the living God. For by the power of the eternal Spirit, Christ offered himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins. Hebrews 9:14
