Galatians 6:14
“The cross of Christ crucifies the world to a believer, as it shows him how little he deserves at the hand of God. Believers in the cross of Christ see him standing in their place and bearing the wrath of an offended God, which was their due. When this is not only professed with the mouth but received into the heart, it gives a deep conviction of the evil of sin and lays the sinner prostrate in humility and self-abasement.”
