Creation and the Cross

Ellet J. Waggoner
 
The eternal power of God is clearly seen in the things that He has made. Romans 1:20. Creation is the measure of God’s power. Not that anyone save God can measure it, because it is infinite; but the power manifested in creation is the same power that saves men from sin. Romans 1:16, 17. So, the Gospel is simply creative power applied to sinful men. (See Ephesians 2:10; 2 Corinthians 5:17). But the preaching of the cross is also the power of God.
