1. Satan's plan to stop God's plan of salvation for lost sinners was not successfull. Hebrews 10:14


2. After christ's death, burial and resurrection, satan's weapon of soul destroying sin and guilt was taken out of his hand. Satan was disarmed of the single weapon that can condemn us; the guilt and agony of our sin. Ephesians 3:1-12


3. Before the cross, full access into the presence of God in the highest heaven was not allowed. Matthew 27:50-52


4. Before the cross, the holy spirit was given in limited measure, and only to trusted jewish servants of God. After the cross, the holy spirit was poured out in full measure to jews and gentiles alike who believed jesus christ was the promised saviour. Acts 10:44-45


5. Before the cross, mankind was incapable of loving God and others to the fullest extent, after the cross, this was made possible. Romans 5:5; 8:35-39


6. To help conform individual christian believers and the church into the image of jesus christ and being vigilant warriors against evil. Romans 8:28-29


7. To reveal to satan and all the fallen angels, for all of God's created beings actually, that God is so wise that He can use the worst of evil to accomplish good.


8. That God's glory might increase throughout eternity and so He can share His glory in greater ways than ever before.


9. Sinners saved by grace can now freely recieve God's imputed holiness. Romans 6:22; Thess 3:11-13


10. The idea here is that God, through the cross, divested principalities and powers of their uncontested rule and authority over redeemed people who live under christ's lordship.



If you know of anything else accomplished on the cross that i've missed here, and how jesus christ conquered death, by all means feel free to share.

Happy Easter to all my christian brethren in the house! Remain blessed.
