You can trace every good thing in your life back to one place—the Cross of Jesus Christ.
Not just the moment of your salvation, though that’s the greatest miracle of all. But every spiritual blessing that followed—every ounce of grace, peace, mercy, power, and purpose—flows through Jesus Christ and what He alone could possibly accomplish at the cross.
The Cross is not a symbol of loss. It’s the channel of gain.
“He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” (Romans 8:32)
All things.
Not because you earned them. Not because you’re strong enough or faithful enough or pure enough. But, because the veil was torn. The veil that separated you from the righteousness of was torn at the cross.
But because He was delivered up—for you.
Without the Cross, you have no righteousness.
Without the Cross, you have no access to God.
Without the Cross, you have no new identity, no hope of heaven, and no victory over sin.
Every promise hinges on that one act of divine mercy and justice colliding at Golgotha.
“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us” (Galatians 3:13)
That curse was ours. But He took it. And by doing so, He opened the floodgates of blessing.
You don’t walk in favor because of your performance—you walk in it because Jesus bore the judgment you deserved.
The Cross broke the barrier.
It didn’t just forgive your sin. It established a new covenant—a better one—where you now stand in grace, not guilt.
The Cross must be the end of your old life.
Now, it’s time to to be re-born.
It’s time to enter into a new life.
“Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus” (Hebrews 10:19)
Through His blood, shed on that Cross, you now have bold access to the presence of God.
And in His presence is fullness of joy. Every blessing flows from there.
So when you receive peace, remember—it was paid for.
When you walk in victory, remember—it cost Him everything.
When you fall and rise again, remember—He already carried your shame to the Cross.
You can’t bypass Calvary on your way to the promises of God. The Cross is the way.
No resurrection without the Cross.
No healing without the stripes.
No adoption without the rejection He faced.
No crown without the thorns.
So look to the Cross today—not as a past event, but as the living power behind every good thing you now receive.
Everything you have in Christ came through the Cross. And nothing of eternal worth comes without it.
