The booklet asserts that humanity is fallen, guilty, alienated from God, and unable to save itself, but that Christ’s atoning death has made reconciliation possible for all who personally respond in repentance, faith, surrender, and trust. Ron Christian contends that faith places the sinner in right standing with God, brings forgiveness, resolves guilt, cleanses the polluted heart, breaks sin’s power, and opens the way to eternal life. The work also proposes that good works do not earn salvation, but naturally flow from saving faith as expressions of love, obedience, gratitude, and service to Christ. Its central message is that God’s plan of salvation restores lost humanity through grace, offers new life in Christ, frees believers from sin’s bondage, and gives assurance, peace, and hope to all who receive the Savior by faith.</p>https://clmbooks.org/effective-christian-living-booklets/02-the-cross-of-christ/Mon, 29 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://clmbooks.org/effective-christian-living-booklets/02-the-cross-of-christ/<p><strong>PDF Title:</strong> <em>The Cross of Christ!</em></p> <p><strong>Author:</strong> Ron G.

The booklet asserts that people cannot earn, purchase, or deserve salvation, but must receive God’s redeeming grace through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Ron Christian contends that Christ’s death was necessary because God is both perfectly just and perfectly loving: sin must be judged, yet sinners may be forgiven because Christ took their penalty through His substitutionary death. The work emphasizes that the cross demonstrates God’s suffering love, satisfies divine justice, provides reconciliation with God and others, and leaves every person empty-handed before grace. Its central message is that salvation rests entirely on the cross of Christ, where God’s justice and love meet, and where sinners find forgiveness, peace, eternal life, and transforming power.</p>
