What does the Bible say about the effects of the cross?

Answered in 2 sources

The cross of Christ opens a fountain for sin and uncleanness, leading to justification and the washing away of sins.

The effects of the cross are profound, as highlighted in Zechariah 13:1-2, which speaks of a fountain opened for sin and uncleanness. This fountain represents the redemptive work of Christ, where His shed blood cleanses believers from their sins. Moreover, through His sacrifice, believers are justified, as seen in Isaiah 53:11, which states, 'He shall justify many,' emphasizing that the work of the cross has tangible effects in the lives of those saved by grace. It not only guarantees forgiveness but also transforms the hearts and lives of believers, leading them to abandon idolatry and falsehood.
