“In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace” Ephesians 1:7
The devil likes nothing better than when the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is watered down to an unrecognizable rubble of human views and philosophies. Religion and traditions has been a sharp tool in the hands of the devil which has led many down the road to hell all through the ages. Many are preaching and teaching that the blood of Jesus is too barbaric, to unsettling, to controversial for the pulpits and the pews and so:
I. The value of the Cross is not confirmed.
II. The violence of the Cross is not considered.
III. The victory on the Cross is not conveyed.
Many have been and continue today, to be the pawns of Satan all the while leading many astray. In his book, Faith Undone, author Roger Oakland writes, “Some emerging church leaders do say they love the Cross, but an underlying theme is gaining momentum among them. It says Jesus’ going to the Cross was an example of sacrifice and servant hood that we should follow; but the idea that God would send His Son to a violent death for the sins of mankind-well that is not who God is. A loving God would never do that! Such a violent act would make Christianity a “slaughterhouse religion.” Such thinking should make us pray with a fervency for the lost that has not been matched in any time found in history.
