What does the Bible say about glorying in the cross of Christ?

Answered in 7 sources

The Bible emphasizes that believers should glory only in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, as it is through His sacrifice that we are made new creatures.

In Galatians 6:14, the Apostle Paul states that he will glory only in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. This glorying is rooted in the recognition that the cross represents the entirety of Jesus' redemptive work—His suffering, atonement, and resurrection. For the believer, the cross is the focal point of salvation, bringing peace, reconciliation, and new life. Paul emphasizes that in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything; what matters is becoming a new creation. The cross's significance lies in its ability to transform sinners into children of God, showcasing the grace and mercy of God.
