"Why the Cross?"

Article Summary by: michael tharwat     

Original Author: unknown

Do you know who Died for you and me?

· How can you be delivered from the fire of Hell?

All the teachings from the Holy Bible stress the importance of the death of Christ on the cross. Christ came to the world especially to die. What makes his death so important? The answer is because he died bearing your sin instead of you.
And Christ offers himself as Savior from the condemnation of your sins if you believe in Him.
Christ''s act of substitution
This testifies to the depth of God''s love. Sinners are guilty, lost, without any help before the law of a Holy God who requires a penalty for sin. Romans 5:8. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. The incarnate of God volunteered to take the place
if sinners, and bear the penalty of sin which was required by the "Godly Supreme" court. The incarnate God was tortured-he who knew no sin-and died as a substitute for you and for me.     
1 Peter 3:18.
For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous to bring you to God.
Christ the Saviour
This testifies to God''s power. His was three days after his death that.....
Acts 2:24
... God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.
In Christ''s resurrection from death God testified convincingly that accepted Christ''s death for sinners as a complete atonement for sin, and as a condition   which enables god to give his complete and free forgiveness to you and me so that we mat be delivered from hell.
