Glorying in the Cross of Christ !2
We Glory in Christ Cross/Blood alone because by it, even when we were enemies, unbelievers, at active enmity against God, we were still reconciled to God by the Blood of His Son Rom 5:10
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death[Cross, Blood] of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
When this Truth is revealed to God given Faith, we Glory in the Cross of Christ. This Reconciliation by the Cross of Christ takes place without our Faith, without our consent, in fact without our knowledge of it, but while in ignorance.
Also by it [The Cross, Blood, Death] of Christ, without Faith, We are Justified before God and Declared Righteous before Him, Per Rom 5:19b
19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
This obedience of His is His obedience unto the Cross Phil 2:8
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
All this happened as a result and effect of the Cross of Christ apart from any of our obedience, faith, repentance of our own, and while we were enemies, and by this way, Christ has secured unto Himself all the Glory of Our Salvation, and by this Knowledge being communicated to us, We Glory in the Cross, Boast in the Lord and what His Cross has done ! 46
