“DON’T PASS THE CROSS”

God’s Law consists of 613 commands that show what God requires and highlight humanity’s need for a Savior. Keeping only some laws is not enough; according to James 2:10, breaking one law makes a person guilty of breaking all. The first command of commission was given to Adam; God said that any tree of the Garden could be partaken of, except for the tree of knowledge of good and evil, if the fruit of that tree is eaten, man shall surely die.

God never lowered His demands upon man; instead, He brought perfection down to this earth in the person of Christ Jesus. If we are not careful, we will pursue our own form of acceptance by God and run right past the cross of calvary. We must not do that! To do that would be a grave sin; so grave, there is no forgiveness for that sin if we were to do in that condition.

Instead of running past the cross, may we run directly to the cross. The cross is where Christ poured out His blood for our redemption. He fulfilled the Law of God in complete totality. There is nothing else left for us to do; His work was, is, and will forever be sufficient, efficient, and complete for our redemption. Do not pass the cross, run to it, and bow down at the foot of the cross!

Galatians 3:24—26 “²⁴ Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. ²⁵ But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.”
