Bible Study Series; What Happen To You At The Cross

WHAT HAPPEN TO YOU AT THE CROSS

Sometimes we treat the cross as it was a thought that came after man

was created. God knew the need because man would be

made with the ability to think reason and make decisions.

At some point in man\’s life, he would corrupt himself and

need redemption.

The cross was God\’s sovereign plan in eternity past

I can imagine a counsel meeting between God the Father

God The Son and God the Holy Spirit

He decided to create a world to manifest His Love,

Man would be the centerpiece of His creation, and the object

of His Love, He created man in His image and likeness.

Angles were created first to sing praises and glorify the

Holy Trinity. One angel, Lucifer, cherub would be left

to his own devices to corrupt himself through pride. The

trinity cast him from the heavens

Lucifer would be allowed to corrupt man and thus the need

for a cross to reconcile man back to God.

God gave laws for man to live by to maintain fellowship with

Him. Starting in the Garden of Eden, God gave Adam

one command which he did not keep because he allowed himself

to be influenced by Lucifer. Lucifer became known as Satan

the father of all lies. The sin of Adam separated him from God

and thus the need for a Savior.

From one man Adam, came all mankind. God grew Israel

into a nation under 400 years of slavery. On Mount Sinai

He Gave Moses His commandments and established the Levite

tribe as His worship team. He designs the movable tabernacle

as the place of worship.

The Tabernacle was the place where animals were

religiously sacrificed for the temporal atonement of sins.

This was just a symbol of Jesus\’ death on the cross, a one-time sacrifice

for the sins of the entire world, past, present, and future. On the cross

Jesus\’ death became a substitute for all those who faithfully followed

the law given to Moses before His birth and all those who put their

trust in Him after His death and resurrection.

Jesus\’ death and resurrection is the foundation of our faith.

Man after Adam was born in sin and shaped in iniquity, The only

way back to God is through faith in the cross, which is Christ Jesus.

The way back is simple, confess with your mouth and believe in your

heart, Jesus as Lord and Savior. That is the surface, Since any man

in Christ is a new creation several things happen in our transformation.

These things happen to each believer who is the building block of

body of Christ.

1. Believers are regenerated

1 Peter 1:3-4

3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great

perish, spoil, or fade — kept in heaven for you.
