1 Corinthians 15:56-57–A Matter of Victory

1 Corinthians 15:56-57–"The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.  But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord, Jesus Christ."

As a competitive person, victory has a certain and specific connotation.  It means, among many things, decisively besting an opponent.  In reference to our victory in Christ, the opponent is sin and its result death.  But in this, we can be sure that our triumph is conclusive.  Part and parcel to our salvation is, in fact, this reality that sin has be conquered and death no longer has any power.

This is a great and liberating truth.  No longer must we fear death as we are no longer held under the power of sin as it has been eradicated through Christ's death and resurrection.

Praise be to God for this glory!

AMEN!
