Going through the Cross

---

God demands more than coming to the Cross , God demands going through the Cross.

It will take everything that a man has & owns & trusts in.

The Sinner wants to come to the Cross & be forgiven, some preach only that.....

"The Gospel of Accommodation" it is called.

IN "The Gospel of Accommodation", there is not one Word talking about going on with Christ into the tomb to die ......going down into the grave & coming out resurrected into the newness of life....

They are taught to come to the Cross , kneel down , say a prayer then go back & return to your sins.

No dying to Sin , No resurrection to the newness of Life.

THAT is the offence of the Cross......

[Matthew 18:7 KJV] Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

It is required that you go all the way when you come, The Lord demands full obedience, he demands everything we have.

The majority of Christians in these last days have been to the Cross but not through the Cross, they haven't been buried with Christ.

Apostle Paul said , I died with Christ , I were raised with Christ, I were crucified with Christ , he picked up his cross & walked through with Christ.

[Galatians 2:20 KJV] I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

[Romans 6:4 KJV] Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Men know what the Cross did for them , but not where it wants to take them to.

The Gospel is not just about forgiveness, believing & attaining heaven some day.....it's not only the saving of the Soul......it's the saving of the Body.

God says I want your flesh....as a living sacrifice......

That is the preaching of the Cross.

[Romans 12:1 KJV] I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service.
