"If I share my own words, they are of no more importance than your words are to me. But if we share the truth of God with one another, we will encounter it again and again. We have to focus on the great point of spiritual power— the Cross. If we stay in contact with that center of power, its energy is released in our lives. In holiness movements and spiritual experience meetings, the focus tends to be put not on the Cross of Christ but on the effects of the Cross."
Hallelujah!
Indeed, too many people love to dress up what God has done for them, as though His sacrifice at the Cross was merely initial, basic, elementary.
The Cross is everything:
"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."
"Author and Finisher" means not just initiation and continue, but the ongoing fruition of good works through the Holy Spirit (cf Galatians 5:22-23)
Our Faith in Him is everything,for by faith do we have access to His grace and all the goodness that we receive -- IN CHRIST!
