The Cross – we must understand The Cross to fully understand humility and humbleness. If it wasn’t for Jesus Christ and The Cross we would be living under The Law of the Old Testament. We all know Jesus died for our sins but do we fully understand what He alone saved us from? There are no unconditional covenants, promises or blessings. After the fall of man (Adam & Eve) Jesus was sent to offer Salvation to all who would receive. We could not save ourselves because our will power alone was not enough. God’s mercy and grace gave us free will but most importantly, God’s mercy and grace gave us His only begotten Son because He knew we could not do it alone. God wants to give us every opportunity He can without taking away our free will. Sometimes God will use instruction, love, perserverence and even drastic measures to turn us away from hell – but He will not take away our free will. We can’t grow rich off of all of the Lord’s blessings then reject the source. Once we realize “the source” is Jesus Christ and The Cross, we will also understand just how humble we should be. We now live under God’s grace and mercy only because of Jesus. Thank you Jesus for The Cross and our Salvation.
