Why is the cross of Christ central to our faith?

Answered in 2 sources

The cross of Christ is central to our faith because it represents the ultimate sacrifice for sin and highlights the grace of God in salvation.

Throughout his teaching, Paul emphasizes that the cross is where Christ bore our sins and suffered humiliation for our redemption. In Galatians 2:20, Paul declares, 'I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.' This union with Christ in His death on the cross is essential for understanding our salvation, as it exposes our sinfulness and grants us the righteousness of Christ. The offense of the cross confronts our pride, calling us to humility and faith in Him alone for salvation.
