Redemption by the cross

Redemption by the cross

Redemption by the cross in Christian theology refers to the redeeming power of Jesus' sacrifice and/or resurrection when he voluntarily submitted to crucifixion by Roman authorities.

His death on a cross is understood as the redemptive sacrifice: the source of mankind's salvation and the atonement for sin, ["Catechism of the Catholic Church" §606-618; Council of Trent (1547) in Denzinger-Schönmetzer, "Enchiridion Symbolorum, definitionum et declarationum de rebus fidei et morum" (1965) §1529;niv|John|14:2-3|John 14:2-3] which had entered human history through the sin of Adam. ["Thirty Nine Articles of the Church of England", article 9; "Augsburg Confession", article 2; "Second Helvetic Confession", chapter 8; niv|Romans|5:12-21|Rom 5:12–21; niv|1_Corthians|15:21-22|1 Cor 15:21–22.] (see Fall of man)
