But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:57

Whatever you are facing today . . . God has already given you victory. How cool is that?

Victory promised and delivered through Jesus.

Promised in Genesis as God told Satan of future defeat:

And I will cause hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you will strike His heel.” Genesis 3:15

Delivered through Jesus death on the cross:

“It is finished!” Then He bowed His head and released His spirit. John 19:30

Celebrated through Jesus resurrection:

He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Remember what He told you back in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and that He would rise again on the third day.” Luke 24:6–7

If God is able to promise and give victory over sin, death, and the enemy . . . He is able to give you and me victory over whatever is going on in our lives.

Victory over:

Temptation – Since He himself has gone through suffering and testing, He is able to help us when we are being tested. Hebrews 2:18

Sin – But if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. 1 John 1:9

Death – “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.” John 14:1–3

Victory in:

Life – Despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. Romans 8:37

Death – When I saw Him, I fell at His feet as if I were dead. But He laid His right hand on me and said, “Don’t be afraid! I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One. I died, but look—I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and the grave.” Revelation 1:17–18

Responding to God-given Victory

I thank you for answering my prayer and giving me victory! Psalm 118:21

May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory and raise a victory banner in the name of our God. May the Lord answer all your prayers. Psalm 20:5

See, God has come to save me. I will trust in Him and not be afraid. The Lord God is my strength and my song; He has given me victory.” Isaiah 12:2

Live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ. Philippians 1:27
