Bible verses about
Cross
Jesus’ crucifixion is the ultimate act in emptying Himself — unto death, even the death of the cross (Philippians 2:8). The death of Christ on the cross opened wide the door of salvation. Whoever believes in Him will have eternal life (John 3:16).
So, for Christians, Christ’s cross is the “power of God” (1 Corinthians 1:18). The cross of Jesus will shine forever as a memorial symbol of God’s love for us. And the real meaning of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross will be a subject that all the saints will study for eternity.
