Galatians 6:11-12 NLT
These things really hit me today as I read this today:
1) The cross of Christ alone can save.
2) If we add one thing at all to the saving power of the cross, we can add anything. When does it stop?
3) Among all the debates as to how many steps there are to salvation, we seem to miss the fact that the only step that matters is the step taken by Christ on the cross.
4) There clearly is a cost to pay if one teaches that the cross of Christ alone can save.

5) He started the statement by saying "I'm using large letters here. I want you to pay special attention to this." I suppose it would be similar to bolding and increasing the size of part of a post in order to draw attention to it. Obviously, this meant a lot to him and he wanted it to mean a lot to others.
