The cross of the LORD Jesus Christ should be our only boast:
But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ . . . . Galatians 6:14
The cross of the LORD Jesus Christ should be our primary theme and central theme in every theme:
For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 1 Corinthians 2:2
So it is vitally important that we speak, preach, write, and teach about the cross accurately (get it right!) so that sinners might be saved and so that King Jesus, God our Father, and God the Holy Spirit get all the glory they deserve.
I have written these articles in which I try to accurately describe the cross and Jesus' work there. I hope you find them helpful:
