1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
VICTORY HAS ALREADY BEEN WON FOR ALL WHO WILL BELIEVE
When Jesus took the punishment for our sins on the cross and was buried with them and rose up victorious over death, He won that victory for all believers.
We have victory over death. If someone tells you that I have died don't believe a word of it. I will then be more alive than I have ever been because for a Christian to die means to be absent from this body but to be present with the Lord. There are a lot of churches that spend more time bickering over their cemetery and who can be buried there than they do trying to reach lost souls. That cemetery is just a patch of dirt and the spirit of those saved people who are buried there has already gone on to be with the Lord.
I am kind of afraid that at my funeral someone will say what one young preacher said, "This is not him, it is just the shell, the nut has already gone on." We have victory over death and the grave through Jesus Christ our Lord.
We don't even have to fear hell, Jesus overcame that for us to. If death can't keep us dead, the grave can't hold us and Hell can't reach us, I would say that is Victory.
We also have victory over the trials that will come our way in life. Regardless of the hardships we might face in this life, we know that something awesome is coming in the future. Eternal life with King Jesus. Live victorious. Jesus won the victory for you.
