What truths about humanity are revealed at the cross?

Answered in 1 source

The cross reveals the depravity of humanity, showcasing that all people fall short of God's glory and are in need of His grace.

At the cross, the true nature of humanity is laid bare; as stated in Romans 3:23, all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. The crucifixion of Christ highlights humanity's hostility towards God, as revealed in Acts 2:23, where despite Christ's perfect nature and divine approval, He was crucified by wicked hands. This illustrates that by nature, humanity is at enmity with God, emphasizing the need for divine intervention through the cross. Christians acknowledge that apart from grace, there is no goodness in man, which leads to the understanding that redemption is solely the work of God.
