Synopsis

The purpose of this book is to demonstrate that Christ's death on the cross is the compelling power to motivate Christians to live their lives in accordance with the will of God! I have tried to taker a deeper look into the meaning of Christ's death. My prayer is that the reader will find this book biblical and relevant. the cross is not just a historical fact; it provides meaning and purpose for Christians every day of their lives. the main text of the book is 2 Corinthians 5:14-15. The text says, "For the love of Christ constraineth us." Christ's love for us motivates, compels, and constrains us to "live . . . unto him." His love was proven and demonstrated by His death. Paul emphasizes Christ's death for us three times in two verses (2 Cor. 5:14-15). Surely this is significant! We are drawn to Christ because of what He suffered and endured for us (John 12:32-33).
Today men have made attempts to make replicas of the cross. They have sought to embellish it, beautify it, and make it physically attractive. Some have made miniature crosses of the finest silver, gold, and diamonds. While we can appreciate an attempt to remember Christ's death, we must never forget the horrible agony that transpired on the cross.
