The cross of the Christ impacts on everything in the Christian life. The cross is the hope of reconciliation with the glorious Father, whose light is seen in the glory of Jesus Christ. The cross is the means of this reconciliation. It brings the heaven power of righteous teaching into the heart of the sinful human who needs that teaching, to cleanse them from their sinful ways. This makes a sinner into a saint. A tainted soul living a tainted lifestyle into a cleansed soul, living a cleansed lifestyle. It produces saints who are given integrity throughout their lives. The cross is celebrated in bread and wine. The celebrants are united in it, forming the body of Christ, in which each one has been cleansed by the heavenly power. The Christ who died on the cross, giving his body and blood in his suffering and death, bears the keys of this reconciliation ministry. He was raised from the dead by the Father. The Father for this sacrifice provided His Son, and the Son by this sacrifice provided the cleansing and reconciliation with the Father. Humans are united with the Son who in turn is united with the Father, and humans are in this also united with others who are so united with the Son. The body of Christ. This unity is sealed with gifts that accompany it. These are given by the Holy Spirit, the giver of power from heaven. The gifts come in typical forms, tongues, interpretation of tongues, prophesying, various manifestations of heavenly power, healing gifts, and there are along with such gifts the miracles by which the Father testifies to the Son and teaches about him in works of power. All this is in the cross. There are dreams and visions too, all given in this outpouring of favour of the Father for the reconciliation by the cross. It is all together called an ‘anointing’. The anointing and the cross are the blessings from heaven given to these saints, because Lord Jesus the Christ died for all, and lives forever, holding the keys to it all and maintaining the balance of all things heavenly and earthly. It will reach fulfilment soon by his coming and the subsequent thousand years in which he will rule over all, until all is made subject to him by the Father. Then he will subject himself to the Father forever, so the Father will forever be God the all in all. The saints will rise immortal from the dead, or if they did not die, will be transformed from mortal to immortal, to join in with the rule of Christ in this thousand years soon to come. Then the saints will be subject forever to the Father along with Jesus Christ their Lord. One God, the Father, will be God forever.
