When we walk/live by the rules of the cross and the rules of the new man we
receive:
The peace of God Isaiah 26:3 Philippians 4:7
The mercy of God. His forgiveness and acceptance.
4. The cross gives purpose to the scars of life. Galatians 6:17
The believer who suffers reproach, ridicule, mockery, and other persecutions
because of his stand for Christ - that believer bears the marks of Christ in his
body.
