The Cross :

1.) Is where God and Man may meet and become "One" Spiritually.
The Cross is the Eternal Gateway which allows any and all sinners to enter God's Kingdom, forever.

The Preaching of the Cross:

2.) Is how God calls mankind to "come and become ONE with ME".

The "Preaching of the Cross.. is THE POWER.....OF GOD.....Unto Salvation".
No Cross = No Salvation
No "preaching of the Cross" = No TRUE Gospel being preached.


3.) Jesus didnt have to go to The Cross.

Thats a fact.

Jesus went to the Cross for 2 reasons.

A.) Because He wanted to please His Father, by obeying His Father's will.

This is why Jesus said...>" Not My will, but YOURS (Father) i will do".

B.) The other reason Jesus went to the Cross is because Jesus loves you more then you realize.
Jesus loves you so much, that even tho it cost Him His LIFE, He was willing to die just for YOU. (And He did).... = So that by His Sacrifice on The Cross, you can realize just how much God loves you, and Just how far God is willing to go so that you can be restored into God's Eternal Family.
See, Jesus understood that "If i die for them ALL, then ALL of them may come to the Cross by FAITH.. and become "IN Christ", "ONE with God".... Redeemed, Forgiven, and : ....
= Born again = Forever.
---------------------------------------------------------------

Now, reader...

See what you just read. And notice the part about God's infinite and amazing love for you?
How does that make you feel?
And THAT, reader, is how it makes an unbeliever feel, when you tell them that GOSPEL.
See, that is how you "win souls"... That is how you "lead people to Christ".
= You show them God's love, as Jesus's love, and that is : The CROSS.
That is the POWER of the Cross, and it is so powerful, when it's heard, that faith comes to the heart of the hearer, just by hearing it.. As that is the power of God, unto Salvation.. That is the Holy Spirit using that Gospel of LOVE to bring a sinner to Christ.
Remember that, as you are going to have opportunity to tell someone.
Show them that Love of God.. Show them that CROSS of Christ.

= Share that "Gospel of the Grace of God"..

- God bless you.

The cross was certainly needed, in us being reconciled back to God....we must also be Born Of The Spirit, that’s when we are reconciled back to God.....through his Spirit.....as his word says, we must be Born Again to see the Kingdom of God.our spirit must be “ Born Again “...which is the “ Living “ spiritual rebirth as Gods word is Alive and Active....who is the Holy Spirit, he is the one who witnesses to our spirit the truth of Gods word, when we become Born Of The Spirit.

The KOG is a spiritual kingdom.

"God is A Spirit".

Jesus is THAT Spirit".

They are the Kingdom.


This is why Jesus said....>"you must be born again"... = spiritually to exit in This Spiritual Kingdom.

So, where is Jesus?
Where is He?

He is 2 places...

"seated at the right hand of the Father".

And " Christ in YOU< the Hope of Glory", is why Jesus said, "the KOG is within you"....

Its because He is within us who is this KOG.. and We are not the "temple of the Holy Spirit">

And were are the born again?

= "Seated in Heavenly places In Christ".

All of this, is The Kingdom of God.

Here is another verse that describes it.

"Translated (born again) ... FROM... (out of) Darkness.....= TO (into) Light".

What Light? ??

"God exists IN LIGHT">

"Jesus is the LIGHT of the World".

THe born again are become "Children OF THE LIGHT">.

"LIGHT = KOG = Spiritual Kingdom

Hi Behold, have I read this wrong?

KJV
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

As a Born Again we belong to God......

Yes, we belong to God.

We are "blood bought".

Paul said "you are not your own, you are bought with a Price".

1 Corinthians 6 : 19-20

God purchased our forgiveness and our redemption with the BLOOD OF JESUS.

This is the New Covenant.

We must be Born Again to be under the New Covenant.....we need the blood of the Lamb, we also need to be Born Of The Spirit.

In other words we must be spiritually reborn....like flesh gives birth to flesh.

Spirit gives birth to spirit....God births our spirit into his...Spirit gives birth to spirit

Yes.

Jesus said.. "you MUST be born...... again"....

Spiritual birth, .. as a "New Creation">... "in Christ".

The born again believer has become ""One with God" who is "A Spirit"..

Everything about CHRISTianity, is SPIRITUAL.

The birth.
The eternal life
The revelation knowledge
The NEW Creation
The KOG

All of it.
