What Was Accomplished By Christ's Cross?
If the Bible makes anything clear, it is the fact that the secret of all God’s good news gospel to men is centered in Calvary’s Cross. It was because Christ was to die for sin that God could proclaim good news to sinners down through the ages.
It was not until some time after the crucifixion, however, that “the preaching of the cross” was widely proclaimed as a message by Paul in “the gospel [good news] of the grace of God” (ICor.1:18; Acts 20:24).
