Grateful for a Kingdom that Cannot be Shaken - part 3

I'm increasingly convinced that the cross of Jesus is the only solid ground on which we can stand. It is that on which this unshakeable Kingdom is established. I may share more next week on the cross but this week, I'm going to pass on to you something I read recently that I believe is a great start at exploring the benefits of Jesus' death. This comes from Darrin Patrick's book, "Church Planter." This would be wonderful material to meditate on. (The remainder of this posting is quoted from Patrick's book):

"Through His cross-work, Christ has provided:

1. Reconciliation to God (2 Cor 5:19).
2. Forgiveness of sins (Col. 2:13).
3. Propitiation (Rom. 3:25).
4. Ability to live for God (2 Cor. 5:15).
5. Eternal life (John 3:16).
6. Justification (Rom 4:25).
7. Inheritance in heaven (Eph. 1:11).
8. Righteousness (Phil 3:9-10).
9. Healing (1 Peter 2:24).
10. Bodlily resurrection (1 Cor. 15:22).
11. Intercession for the weak (Heb 7:25).
12. Peace (Isa 53:5).
13. Freedom (Gal 5:1).
14. Unity among believers (Eph 2:11-22).
15. An example (1 Peter 2:21).
16. Redemption (Rom 3:24).
17. Advocacy (1 John 2:1).
18. Deliverance from fear of death (Heb 2:14-15).
19. Hope (Rom 5:1-11).
20. Wisdom (1 Cor 1:30).
21. Regeneration (1 Peter 1:3).
22. Access to God’s presence (Heb 10:19).
23. All things (Rom 8:32).

In short, Christ’s death has given us God (1 Peter 3:18)."
