How to understand the Grace of God, as the Cross of Christ....
A.) = Just like that.
In other words...
Christ on the Cross, is God manifested in the Flesh on the Cross, who said... before He died....."IT" "is finished".
See that "IT"?
A born again believer has to understand that "IT", as that "IT", is Salvation, Grace, and Redemption..... all of these.
That "IT" is the New Testament and the New Covenant.
So, lets say you are teaching a Sunday School Class,
Explain it like this...
1.) God became a man, the Virgin born Jesus, and He lived a perfect life, sin free. He then offers this LIFE to God, as a Sacrifice on The Cross for the "world". That's EVERYONE. John 3:16.
This Sacrifice is what God accepts, on our Behalf, to accept us., and God accepts nothing else. John 14:6
This is "the Gift of Salvation".
This is Christ on the Cross.
2.) Its literally, God dying as a man on the Cross, and this life He lived as sinless Jesus, is exchanged for our SIN, and Jesus becomes our sin on the Cross.... and its dealt with there, forever,...... and we become by this substitution, "the righteousness of God, in Christ".
Jesus becomes our sin and dies for it, and we become forgiven and now possess "Christ's Righteousness".
3.) Totally simplified : Christ becomes our sin, and we become as if we have lived the sinless life that Christ lived... given to us AS : "The Gift of Salvation, and "The Gift of Righteousness". This is what it means to be a Born Again CHRISTian.
4.) So, when we understand that we are become "the righteousness of God in Christ", we have "worked out our Salvation"", by understanding what<>who = we have Eternally become as a "NEW Creation, in Christ".
This is what it means to be "Born Again"... "IN Christ" as "One with God".
