How do we know the cross is central to Christian faith?

Answered in 2 sources

The cross is central because it embodies God’s purpose and the gospel, as explained in Revelation 13:8.

The significance of the cross being central to the Christian faith is rooted in the belief that it encapsulates God’s eternal purpose. Revelation 13:8 refers to Christ as the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, indicating that the cross was foreordained before creation itself. This illustrates that everything in Scripture points to this act of redemption, making it fundamental to understanding God’s character. The cross reveals God's justice in punishing sin while simultaneously displaying His love through the sacrifice of His Son, which justifies the ungodly. Therefore, it is the believer's sole source for hope and assurance.
