The Cross. ( Colossians 2 v 13 - 15 )

More than ever I feel that the cross needs to be proclaimed, it is Gods only answer to mankind's terrible condition, without the cross ,hear this ,there is no hope. The fact is this, without the cross sin remains  ,without the cross wrath remains,( John 3 v 36 ),without the cross judgement is certain .Without the cross mankind cannot hope to change,the drunkard will remain a drunkard, the drug addict will remain an addict,the sexual abuser will remain an abuser.Without the cross there is no way back to God from the dark paths of sin. Religion without  the cross cannot save ,will not save,being sincere will not save ,being kind will not save,being smart will not save,without the cross nothing can save,and let me stress this again God's answer is the cross.,we have not got an answer almighty God provided the answer,ignore it ,at your cost. 'In the old rugged cross,stained with blood so divine, a wondrous beauty I see; for t'was on that old cross Jesus suffered and died to pardon and sanctify me '.  ( Words by George Benhard )
