Through Christ We Are Victorious Even In Death

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:55-56

The power of our salvation through Christ is so complete, that there is nothing lacking in it whatsoever! Death has lost to it, the grave has lost to it, and sin has especially lost to it!


For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has freed me from the law of sin and of death. Romans 8:2


We have been made victorious in Christ and we are always victorious in Him: our Father causes it! And there is no falling away from Jesus and then coming back in; once we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to truly say yes to Jesus and make Him Lord, we are united permanently with Him!

For God's gifts and His call are irrevocable. [He never withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call.] Romans 11:29

So it’s not like we will be victorious only if we stay in Christ, as if we could leave Him. We didn’t fool our Father and only half accept Jesus as Lord. Our Father is all knowing and He knows our hearts, so if we have truly been empowered to accept what He has given us, we will always triumph in Him, in every place, and in every situation! He will cause us to triumph over fear; with the spirit of power that He has given us! We will triumph over sickness; because by His stripes we are healed! We will triumph over lack; because our needs are met according to God’s riches and glory! We will triumph over ignorance; because we have the Mind of Christ! We will triumph over imperfection; because we have been made perfect in Him! God will be triumphant in producing much fruit through us; because Christ has now strengthened us, so that our Father can do all things through us! Today is the day of our salvation and faith comes from hearing these Truths. Christ is always victorious through us!
