As believers, the preaching of the cross is the power of God displayed on earth. Jesus paid the final penalty for our sins.
Jesus died for our sins and was resurrected the third day. This is the gospel we preach. Even forgiveness of sins through Christ crucified.
1 Corinthians 1 :17-19 (KJV)
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

The preaching of the cross is what leads a person to repentance and to follow Jesus for salvation. We love God enough, as to never forget the price that Jesus paid for us.
1 Corinthians 1 :17,18 (KJV)
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

No person on this earth has ever been saved, but through the blood of Jesus. Only because of what He did for us on the cross, does it make it possible to be redeemed and have our sins forgiven.
1 Corinthians 1 :18 (KJV)
18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
It is true that each of us have a choice to believe in and follow Jesus. However, one way or another, all will, one day, “bow down before him”.
It was when I saw myself as a sinner that I found out how much I truly needed Jesus in my life. The cross now means the world to me.
I can feel the arms of Jesus in my life. Each day that I seek Him, He is right by my side. When I knock He answers.
