1 Corinthians 1:18 For the word of the cross is to those who are perishing foolishness, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. (NAS)
The cross is definitely a defining line. The work of Christ on the cross was the complete redemption of mankind. If you are a believer in Jesus and His death, burial and resurrection then you will understand what the verse means when it says, “but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” It would seem foolishness to a person who rejects the cross as the way of salvation. The dividing line is faith in the person of Jesus and His death on the cross.
Maybe you have felt a need to find meaning in life beyond anything you could imagine. It requires death. It means death to yourself and acceptance of life in Christ. What a great trade. It is easy to understand why it would seem foolish to you who have rejected Jesus. But if you have trusted Him then you know the power of God over sin, self, and the world. Praise God for opportunity to live through the cross.
I hope you find purpose for your life today as you grow in Christ. May God bless you as your spiritual life prospers in Jesus.
