The cross of Jesus Christ is the axis of human history, the event upon which the fate of all creation hinges. This book, "Thanks to Calvary: A Salvific Treatise on the Cross", represents years of contemplation, prayer, and engagement with the profound truths revealed in Scripture. As I delved into the Pauline understanding of the cross, I realized that it offers more than just theological insight; it provides the assurance of salvation, the end of religious striving, and the dawn of grace.
Growing up, I often grappled with questions about salvation, guilt, and whether I was truly "right" with God. It was the teaching of the Apostle Paul, especially his exposition of the cross, that opened my eyes to the finality of Christ's work. I discovered that Calvary was not merely an event to be remembered; it was a reality to be experienced. The cross, as Dr. Desmond Ford once said, is "God's final word on sin and grace" (Ford, The Cross and Grace, p. 3). In it, I found hope, freedom, and certainty. Throughout this work, I draw from esteemed scholars and theologians, including Dr. Ford, Charles Spurgeon, and Hauwar Stanely. These men have illuminated the depths of Pauline theology and the centrality of the cross in ways that continue to inspire and convict me. Their writings have enriched my understanding and compelled me to share these truths with a wider audience.
This book aims to articulate the all-encompassing significance of the cross of Jesus Christ. It is my prayer that as you journey through these pages, you will see the cross not merely as a religious symbol, but as the transformative event that forever changed the cosmos, conquered sin, and offers the assurance of salvation for all who believe. In a world where religious uncertainty often clouds faith, may the message of Calvary shine brightly as a beacon of hope.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. To God alone be the glory.
