What is the Power Of The Cross?
411702
The power of the cross refers to the sacrifice Jesus Christ made for our sins on the cross. This power takes the place of the sacrifices the Jewish people made to atone for their sins.  We can now have grace and forgiveness of our sins through Jesus Christ our Lord, if we choose to accept Him. : )

Only by giving your life to Jesus will you ever have the power.\n\nAll others are frauds.

God is all powerful. He (or She) could have done anything.\n\nHowever God in His unlimited love has given US the free will to choose. We choose to accept or reject God's constant offer of spending eternity with Him in heaven. God will respect the choice we make.

First  the God in heaven is spelled with a capitol G and He is God the father of the Lamb that was slain. Therefore power is not given Him it is his already. Read 1Chr 29:12

Basically, because the Biblical method of salvation (called, elect, predestined) is not popular. People like to think they have something to do with their salvation. They need to "help" God. They do not truly believe that it was finished on the cross, nothing more needs to be done. The Calvinistic idea of total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace and perseverance of the saints will not fill churches nor the collection plate, but it is totally Biblical and the true Gospel.

Because as Apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 1:18 "the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." Also Paul adds in 1 Cor 2:14 But ﻿﻿a ﻿natural man ﻿﻿does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are ﻿foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually ﻿appraised." \n\nMan in his fallen state cannot understand or comprehend spiritual things without God first making him alive to the spiritual world - Eph 2:5. Because of his sinfulness, man has "exchanged the truth of God for a lie" Rom 1:25 That is why the Bible seems unintelligent to him.

My friend, you are right.  There is no way we can look around and not see the magnificent work of God!\n\nHaving a relationship with God through Jesus Christ is like having the perfect relationship with the perfect father.\n\nGod is all powerful, magnificent, omnipotent.  He loves with a love we cannot understand in any way.  He is merciful and kind and good.  However, He is not to be toyed with.  He reminds me of that saying about true power being the authority to do something but not doing it.  God has the power to destroy everything He has created, He has the power to hold back the sun and the moon and the stars and the rain, but He doesnt because He loves us.  It always awes me when I think that there are so many (most) people who reject and mock Him and yet He sends the rain so they can eat, and the sun to warm us everyday and we just dont deserve it.\n\nHe is wonderful and very, very real.\n\nMay He open your eyes even more and set you completely free!

Treat it as a symbol, not an idol. Hang it on the wall and keep the dust off of it. Worship God, not his cross. You don't have any power to bless. You have the power to prey to God that it will be blessed. But think, Should we prey for the cross or for all the people in the world. Nowhere in the Bible does it say to worship the cross or bow down to Mary.

It is written that God gave man the power of reason,,and the power to question his own creator,,,,,so the answer could be,,,that human kind,,,was been given limitless power to interfere with Gods will.\nthe more we question,,,the closer we get to God.

The reversed cross, also known as the cross of St. Peter, has also been used as an emblem of Satanism, although more often by non-satanists than believers. Historically, it has been a symbol of humility, a symbol of Martyred St. Peter's refusal to be crucified in the manner of Christ, preferring to be hung upside down.\n\nToday, the symbol of an upturned cross may symbolize an opposition to Christian dogma, a concept borrowed from Christian writers who mistook the emblem of Peter for an anti-Christian symbol- a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy!\n\nThe inverted cross is also an esoteric symbol of reversal, and is related to the 12th key of the tarot, the hanged man.

The Christ gave the power to continue His messages to his apostles.  They were given the authority to build His church and spread the Good News throughout the world.  The authority bestowed upon Peter continues to this day through the Church.

Why is there a cross? Well, it is a visual reminder each time I see it that Jesus carried my sins on the cross. (1 Peter 2:24) We know what love is because Jesus gave up His life for us on the cross. (1 John 3:16) His death on the cross was part of God's plan for our redemption. ( 1 Peter 1:20) Jesus was willing to die for OUR SIN. (Matt 26:53-54) He is perfect. ( Heb 7:25-26, 1 Peter 2:22) He died on the cross so I could be free. (Rom 6:6, Rom 6:18)When He died on the cross, Jesus said " It is finished" ( john 19:30) the actual word He used means "It is paid for." Our sins were paid for. When Christ rose from the dead, our sin remained buried. Since Jesus is risen, we can share in His glory! (Coll 1:22, Rom 3:22) The cross, once a symbol of torture and shame, is now a symbol of the victory of Christ! ( Heb 12:2) If you place your trust in Jesus, He will be your salvation. (John 14:1,23) Nothing can separate us from God's love. (Rom 8:39) He is with us always, even unto the end of time. (Rom 8:38, Matt 28:20)\n\nI wear a cross to remind me of what my Lord and Savior did for me. I recall His sacrifice and thank Him for loving me. I wear my cross as I follow Him.

It means to get ready to face persecution for His sake but follow Him anyway and be Christlike in your lifestyle. Picking up one's cross is simply to take on the hardships that will most likely befall you as a Christian.
