The cross is the basis of God's full provision for us, including Satan's total defeat. When we allow Satan to obscure the power of the cross, we lose sight of God's provision, and we fall into carnality and legalism. But as we specifically apply the cross to our own life, we find that it provides a fivefold deliverance for us—from this present evil age, from the law, from self, from the flesh, and from the world.
