He is the Power of the Gospel

The preaching of Christ and Him crucified is the preaching of the power of God, and therefore it is the preaching of the Gospel, for the Gospel is the power of God.

He is the Desire of All Nations

He who implanted that desire is the only one who can satisfy it. God is manifested in Christ, and Christ is indeed “the desire of all nations” (Haggai 2:7), although there are so few who will believe that in Him alone is there perfect rest and satisfaction.

Jesus Saves from All Addictions

Jesus says, "The one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out" (John 6:37). 
As our High Priest, Jesus lives today as He lived 2000 years ago--His business is saving people from sin and addictions; that's His specialty; Peter says that He has no competitor in that "business," nobody else can do it.

The Beast

  "Such are the fulfillments of history, which identify the power designated by the remarkable symbol introduced in Revelation 13." ~Ellet J. Waggoner

The Power of the Cross

Ellet J. Waggoner
The power of the cross is love (agape); but the love of God is the life of God; for “God is love.” God was in Christ reconciling us to Himself, and in the cross it is that He gives us His life. Failure to realize this is the reason we have failed many times in the ‘crosses’ we have borne.

Christ Lifted Up

Ellet J. Waggoner

Paul preached Christ crucified. But you say, “Surely he preached something besides that.

Creation and the Cross

Ellet J. Waggoner
 
The eternal power of God is clearly seen in the things that He has made. Romans 1:20. Creation is the measure of God’s power. Not that anyone save God can measure it, because it is infinite; but the power manifested in creation is the same power that saves men from sin. Romans 1:16, 17. So, the Gospel is simply creative power applied to sinful men. (See Ephesians 2:10; 2 Corinthians 5:17). But the preaching of the cross is also the power of God.

The Power that Purifies

Man has committed sin of his own free will; but since it was the life of God that was used in the commission of it, God takes the responsibility of it upon Himself, although He was not responsible for it.
