The Old Rugged Cross: Laying My Trophies Down

De: David Michael Curtis

Explore the "Perfect Paradox" of the Christian life: the call to a standard of perfect obedience that is impossible to attain in the flesh. The Old Rugged Cross: Laying My Trophies Down delves into the impossibly high commands of Christ and His apostles, revealing them not as a path to self-righteousness, but as a divine design to continually drive believers to the foot of the cross. Discover how Christ raised the moral law to an unattainable level of heart-purity and how the apostles applied this standard to the church , exposing our daily failures and desperate need for grace.

This work traces the theme of substitutionary sacrifice through Old Testament shadows, from Abel's offering to the Day of Atonement , culminating in the New Testament substance: the "once for all," finished work of Jesus Christ. Learn how His one sacrifice secured complete salvation—Justification, Sanctification, Perfection, and Reconciliation—proving nothing can or needs to be added.

Ultimately, The Old Rugged Cross offers a practical guide to the "daily full circle walk"—a life beginning each morning and ending each evening by remembering the cross, ceasing from self-effort, and resting wholly in Christ's imputed righteousness for peace and acceptance with God. Find true rest, not in imperfect performance, but in the perfect, all-sufficient sacrifice of Christ. Built exclusively upon the King James Version, this book offers a rigorous, Bible-centered analysis for the serious student.
