Do you have the answer for life’s biggest test, “death”?
Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:55-57 New International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE(s)…
Victory! Ultimate Victory!! If you don’t have the answer for life’s biggest test, “death”, then you have no victory. The answer lies in the grace of God (God’s unmerited favor toward mankind) not in the letter of the law, for we are no longer under the law but under grace. The answer lies not works or in some religious ceremony or rite, but in the victory of Jesus over the devil on the cross, in the grave, and in His resurrection from the dead. The answer lies in Jesus! You must be born again through faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God! You must have made Jesus, the Son of God, your Lord so that He can then become your Savior.
The Super Bowl and World Series are played every year. The champion is a victor for only one year. But a Christian, who is in Christ, is a champion forever because of what Jesus did for us on the cross. A Christian, who is in Christ, has victory over death, hell and the grave through Christ Jesus! We just need to understand it, receive it, and then apply it. Get out of your head and into your Spirit.
MY PRAYER…
Thank You Father God for giving me victory through Jesus Christ. Make His will triumphant in my daily struggles with sin. Help me, Father to live the victorious life that is already mine through Jesus. Through my Triumphant King and Savior I ask it.
Amen
