THE PURPOSE OF
THE CROSS
TO PASS IT
Why?
It is a command
Mark 16:15

Jesus said, “Go into all the world and preach the
gospel to every creature”
What if I not do it?
James 4:17

“To him who knows to do good and does not do

it, to him it is sin”
What good will it bring to
me?
Evangelism deepens our walk with God.
It causes us to search the Scriptures.
It deepens our gratitude for the cross.
Salvation
John 3:16

For God loved the world so much that he gave

his one and only Son, so that everyone who
believes in him will not perish but have eternal
life.
4. SHARE
1. PERFECT SACRIFICE
What is required?
Hebrews 9:22 NLT

In fact, according to the law of Moses, nearly

everything was purified with blood. For without
the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness.
What is the solution?
God declared an end to sin’s control over us by
giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins.
2. BRIDGE THE GAP
Matthew 27:50-51 NLT

Then Jesus shouted out again, and he released

his spirit. At that moment the curtain in the
sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from
top to bottom.
What is the relevance?
Because Jesus has died on the cross, the gates to God’s
presence are open, and the age of the new covenant has
dawned.
John 14:6 NLT

Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the

life. No one can come to the Father except
through me.
1 John 5:14-15

And we are confident that he hears us

whenever we ask for anything that pleases him.
And since we know he hears us when we make
our requests, we also know that he will give us
what we ask for.
