Why is the crucifixion of Christ significant for believers?

Answered in 1 source

The crucifixion is pivotal as it transforms secret believers into open disciples of Christ.

The crucifixion of Christ holds central significance for believers as it represents the ultimate act of God's grace and love. After witnessing His sacrifice, believers can no longer remain secret or timid in their faith. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, who initially approached Jesus secretly at night, became bold after His crucifixion, demonstrating that seeing Christ's sacrifice leads to an unequivocal commitment to follow Him. The cross elucidates the gravity of sin, God’s justice, and His mercy, culminating in the call to publicly identify as followers of Christ — which is crucial in the life of every believer.
