THE CROSS: DONE BY US AND DONE FOR US

Before we can see the cross as something done for us, we must first see it as something done by us. Meaning, we are guilty as charged, and that is why the first step is to accept the charge of guilt. And once we recognize the shame of what was done by us, we can fully realize the grace of what was accomplished for us. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus" (Romans 3:23-24).
