What does the Bible say about boasting in the cross?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that believers should only boast in the cross of Jesus Christ, as it represents His sacrifice and the salvation made available to them.

In Galatians 6:14, Paul emphasizes that the only legitimate boast for a believer is in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. This emphasizes that salvation is through Christ alone and not by any works or merit of our own. To boast in anything else, such as personal achievements or adherence to the law, is to mock the sacrifice of Christ and veer away from the true gospel. Drawing from the heart of sovereign grace theology, Paul’s rejection of self-boasting illustrates that the entirety of our salvation hinges upon Christ's completed work on the cross, rather than any human efforts.
