(1Co 1:18) “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” To we who know we are saved, the cross is the power of the resurrection of our bodies as well as that of the Lord Jesus; the power to save our souls; the power to change us, making us new; the power to live for Him instead of self; the power to overcome this world and Satan himself.
