Victory
Growing up did you have to fight your own battles, or did you have a big sister or brother who stood up for you? When your parents were hard on you, did they come to your defense? Fighting battles alone is tough.
Along our journey in life there are many battles to be fought. There are moral battles, right vs wrong. There are mental battles, hope vs despair. There are spiritual battles, growth vs stagnation. Some we win and some we are still fighting.
Jesus fought those same battles. He came out victorious in all of them and promises us, His victory can be ours. While we will fight moral, mental, and spiritual battles until the day we die, there will be ultimate victory. Why? Jesus rose from the grave, conquered death, and sin. Death is not the end of the story but just the beginning. All who have put their faith in Him will likewise be victorious over death. We have victory in Jesus and a promise of blessings that will never end.
“But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:57 NIV
