Regarding this, Fox wrote, " Now ye that know the power of God and are come to it which is the Cross of Christ, that crucifies you to the state that Adam and Eve were in the fall, and so to the world by this power of God ye come to see the state they were in before they fell, which power of God is the Cross, in which stands the everlasting glory; which brings up into the righteousness, holiness and image of God, and crucifies to the unrighteousness, unholiness and image of Satan . " The Cross is no " dead fact stranded on the shore of the oblivious years, " but is to be a living experience deep in the heart of the believer, and changing his whole life . " You that know the power and feel the power, you feel the Cross of Christ, you feel the Gospel, which is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth . " All real experience of the Cross must lead, he thought, to the same way of life that brought the Master there to the way of humility and non-resistance, of overcoming evil by the sole force of love and goodness.
