1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
When a person places his/her faith in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, that person is forever changed.
The chains of sin are broken, Rom. 6:14, and they are made into a new creature, 2 Cor. 5:17.
No blood washed, blood bought individual will ever experience the flames and fires of Hell. John 5:24.
When the blood is applied, the child of God instantly becomes destined for an eternity in Heaven with the Lord. John 14:1-3.
When I Survey The Wondrous Cross
________________________________
When I survey the wondrous cross — On which the Prince of glory died, — My richest gain I count but loss, — And pour contempt on all my pride.
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, — Save in the death of Christ my God! — All the vain things that charm me most, — I sacrifice them to His blood.
See from His head, His hands, His feet, — Sorrow and love flow mingled down! — Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, — Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
Were the whole realm of nature mine, — That were a present far too small; — Love so amazing, so divine, — Demands my soul, my life, my all.
Isaac Watts 1707
