I can’t say this is an exhaustive list, but I see 7 things changed at the cross. At the Cross: 1. Guilt was removed For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.

Why Should I Declare God’s Promises?
There is something about agreeing with God’s will with our words and actions. Some people will say, “It creates a convergence in the quantum field.” That may be true, but there may be another more Biblical explanation.

3 Steps to Choose to Live Unoffended at God
Here’s how we can choose to live unoffended at the Father: 1. Agree to live without what He withholds. Agreeing to live without what God withholds does not mean we create theology from our experience.

What is Living Unoffended at God?
I’m in debt to Bill Johnson for giving me biblical words to express how we need to relate to God when things happen that just don’t make sense in light of His nature or character.
