VICTORY
Today's reading: 1 Corinthians 15-16
"How we thank God, who gives us victory over sin and death through Jesus Christ our Lord!" 1 Corinthians 15:57 NLT
Resurrection Sunday just reminded us of the power of Christ over death, hell and the grave.
Hymns soothe our earthbound bodies with lyrics that sing about heaven.
We live, as believers in the One True God, knowing these human shells will be transformed when we slip from this life to the eternal one to follow.
The victory over death stirs our souls and fuels our faith.
But what about the power over sin?
Don't you think we often overlook the power God has given us over all things that cause us to stumble, seek to distract us from our faith walks, create a barrier between us and God?
We, as His, have power over sin.
We have been given strength, by God, to overcome any and all temptations that come before us.
We stand triumphant over all our enemy uses as a deterrent to a God-full life.
When we choose to access that power, claim that power, stand on that power.
Oh, how we should thank God for the victory He has given us over sin and death!
