Read Jeremiah 9:23-25<\/p>\n

Why should we boast in the cross of Christ? It is the only way to be free from the (bondage of sin<\/strong><\/span>). The cross means (death to sin<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

The crucifixion of Jesus struck a mortal blow to the (enemy<\/strong><\/span>), to (sin\u2019s grasp<\/strong><\/span>) on our lives.\u00a0 See Col. 2:13-15<\/p>\n
