Syllabus: The Cross
The Cross is the pathway of every true Christian's life. We see that in the book of
Romans, where two aspects of salvation are given: Justification by the blood, and
deliverance through the Cross. God deals with the human race through two representative
men, Adam and Christ. God sees two family trees: Adam's family and Christ's family.
If our source of life is to change, we must change families.
As Christ, "the last Adam" died, He carried the whole family into the grave, and
God provided the end. Through death, burial and resurrection, we pass from the old family
into a new family. We can be liberated from death, sin, the law, and flesh by the Cross.
God intends this new life to be more than an experience; it is to be a new way of living,
a new purpose for existence.
The Cross is not to be a doorway to selfish attainment, but an end to selfishness. May
God destroy every attempt of using the Cross, instead of dying on the Cross. When we
become dead to self and alive to God, the door is open for God to give victory and deliverance.
In God's planning, the Cross and the crucified one become the gateway to life.
