The power is in the cross, right?

For Christ sent me not to baptize (ritual), but to preach the gospel (faith): not with wisdom of words (convincingly), lest the cross of Christ (power) should be made of none effect. 1 Corinthians 1:17 (KJV) (added)

Do you ever think that sometimes we intellectually banter about "religion" or "interpretation" and miss or downplay the cross, the power of faith in a perfect, innocent, sinless substitutional sacrifice for our sin?

Romans 5:8 (KJV) But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

If any man comes to God he must come by the cross. Jesus said "no man cometh unto the Father but by me" and "I am the door".

If any would be saved is there any other way?

Do you have the power to save yourself?
