All that We Have Flows from the Cross
Published November 3rd, 2009 by Jon Cardwell in Faith, Grace, Justification by FaithAnother installment has been made at my new JUSTIFICATION BY GRACE weblog. Included below the most recent article are two links posted yesterday if you haven’t read them. Below is the beginning of the recent article:
“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:” —Romans 5:1
Justification by faith FLOWS FROM THE CROSS of Jesus Christ. All that we have flows from the Cross. In other words, the great blessings of God are from above not below; they flow from the Cross because the blessings are spiritual, not carnal; they are heavenly, not earthly. Jesus said, “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me” (John 12:32). The gospel writer makes it clear in the very next verse that the Lord was speaking His death upon the Cross: “This He said, signifying what death He should die” (John 12:33).
