1 Corinthians 1:18
"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."
As a believer, the message of the cross is so empowering to me. It's strengthens my love for God and motivates me to keep living right. It shows me that when I am weak, Christ is strong. When I can't do it, He CAN. When we know the power of God and that his spirit lives within us, we will understand all the more the power we have in ourselves because of Christ Jesus.
