Victory in Christ
1 Corinthians 15:57 TPT
But we thank God for giving us the victory as conquerors through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One.
When we speak of “the victorious life” we are not speaking of a life without temptation or a life of sinless perfection. It is not possible for a person to have such a transaction with the Lord as to enable him to say, “I am without sin,” or “I can never sin again.” When we say a victorious life what we mean is that the victorious life is a life of peace and joy in the Lord. It is a life of constant fellowship with the Lord. It is a life of victory over sins, sicknesses and all of satan’s devices and plans
Victory is a gift. Just as eternal life is a gift, so the victorious life is also a gift. It cannot be earned; it is the gift of God. Our text says, “Thanks be to God who GIVES us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:57 — so you see He does the giving. Upon Christ resurrection, He said “All authority has been given to me in heaven and earth” in other words He has won and he has handed the victory to us. It means that no matter what we are going through, we are assured of victory because we already got it.
Victory is a beautiful word for the ones that are victorious. Through Jesus Christ, we are assured victory in the game of life in which everything is at stake.
CONFESSION
I have victory in Christ Jesus
I am more than a conqueror
Amen!
