1 Cor 1:18
18 The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.

Just as Paul answered - the Cross is the power of God unto salvation for all who believe in and follow and obey Jesus Christ, because on the Cross, Jesus shed His precious blood and died to buy us back from the Devil, forgive our sin and reconcile us back to the Father. That's why Colossians 1:13 says, He delivered us OUT OF Satan's kingdom of darkness and translated us INTO the kingdom of the Son of God's love.
On the Cross was where Jesus proved He had dominion and victory over the world, (in the world you will have tribulation but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world John 16:33) - the flesh - His flesh was pierced and His blood shed and He even died for us so that we could be spiritually healed and saved) - and the Devil - Jesus wiped out the handwriting of requirements that were against us and nailed them to the Cross and having disarmed principalities and powers, He made an show of them, openly triumphing over them in the Cross (Colossians 2: 14 & 15)

It is the power of God's grace to save.

How nice, a question for bible-thumping morons.

Very likely the same "power" Paul wrote about in Romans 1:16. "Power" is associated with "the Spirit", Luke 4:14, Romans 1:4, 15:19, and "God", 1 Cor. 2:4-5, "God's power", Psalms 66:7.
