The C R O S S.
“Then
said Jesus unto his disciples, ‘If any man will come after me, let him deny
himself, and take up his cross, and follow me’” (Matthew 16:24). “And he that
taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me” (Matthew
10:38).
“For
it is written, ‘I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to
nothing the understanding of the prudent.’ For the preaching of the cross is to
them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the [POWER OF
GOD]” (1 Corinthians 1:18-19).
“Examine
yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your
own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you?” (2 Corinthians 13:5).
“For
ye are all the children of God by [FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS]. For as many of you
as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor
Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye
are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed,
and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:24-29).
“Hereby
know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his
Spirit. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in
him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to
us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him”
(1 John 4:13, 15-16).
