“If you choose the Cross, you must be submissive to Me!”

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Roman 6:23

The outcome of sin is death and the greatest sin is the denial of Jesus Christ.

Sin is doing wrong and rejecting the truths of God. There is no way you can avoid sin because you were born with sin and it will never leave you here on earth.

Sin separates you from God and causes Him to step away from you. If you are a believer, sin quenches the Spirit of God living within you.

All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. There is no one who is righteous. Everyone falls into the same category and God knows you will never be perfect and without sin.

God has solved the problem of sin by releasing the essence of Himself in the form of His Son to deliver you from sin.

The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ. When you make a decision for Jesus your sins are forgiven by His blood and He places His Spirit inside you. The Spirit convicts you of sin and works to purify you with the nature of God.

If you choose the cross, you must be submissive to God. There is no turning back. The cross crucifies your old life and makes you a new person. The cross is the action of God to make you presentable to Him.

The cross is about living abundantly today and drawing upon the attributes of God and rejecting self. The cross is new life and hope eternal.

The cross is admitting you are sold under (or a slave to) sin, corrupt in your ways, and unable to please God. The decision for the cross is the only path to please God!
