I simply argue that the cross should be raised again at the center of the marketplace as well as on the steeple of the church. I am recovering the claim that Jesus was not crucified in a cathedral between two candles but on a cross between two thieves; on the town’s garbage heap; at a crossroad so cosmopolitan they had to write his title in Hebrew and Latin and Greek, at the kind of place where cynics talk smut, and thieves curse, and soldiers gamble. Because that is where he died. And that is what he died for. And that is what he died about. That is where churchmen ought to be and what churchmen ought to be about.”

Your past failure does not nullify any future blessing from God usually it becomes a ministry where Gods use your failure to encourage others. After I accepted the Lord when started reading I began to see The New Testament saints failed God miserably not bunch holier than thou people who relied on Christ atoning on the cross?
Power means a dramatic or sudden change within a human being personality or behavior or agent of changes; For an example using dynamite to level a building down. Simply placing several sticks of dynamite around the frame work of building would level the structure within minutes. Another illustration of the word power is found within scripture in Romans 1; 16 power. The King James Version Bible Study defines the power that comes from God or the power of God: The Greek word for power is dyamno, meaning dynamite. If Paul were writing today, he would probably speak of atomic power. The gospel is so powerful that it takes people all the way into heaven. Or perhaps another verse found Acts 1; 8 where same word power or dynamo; The first followers of Jesus experienced the power of the gospel in such a profound way that they changed the whole Roman world. Jesus uttered these words, “Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me, and him who comes to me I will never on any account drive away. Below are some example:

Who was the first person who confesses their sins before Christ, acknowledge Jesus committed no crime and believed he will enter heaven gates, and was declared righteous by Christ and was promise by Christ that he will who enter paradise with Christ?

The bandit on the cross according to Luke 23; 40, Prior to his confession He was one people that mock Jesus along according to Matthew 27; 44. Along with the chief priests, the expect of the law, and the other bandits. However, one of robbers had A Holy Spirit moment began to realize. Jesus was innocent and committed no crime and realize that he guilty as charge, and deserve to die, and acknowledge this to Jesus. He also declared to Jesus to remember me when you come into your kingdom Jesus answered him in paradise, and Jesus declared, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise. Jesus said these words,” When Jesus heard this, He told them, “Those who are well don’t need a doctor, but the sick do need one. I didn’t come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
