In this teaching we seek to observe the nature of the Creator God in choosing to make His brutal execution on the Cross the highest defining characteristic of His identity. We attempt to peer beyond creation with verses such as "The Lamb who was slain before the foundations of the earth," and look at the substance of God's life on the earth in His Son. We try to gain a fresh perspective of the Cross through asking the question of "why?" instead of "what?" observing the fact that before God created, within the nature of the Godhead there existed the qualities of the Cross–That the Cross is inherently a part of God, His very identity is attached to it, and it is not merely an abstract idea He enacted for salvation.
