Victorious: Victory Over Sin and Death

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


Key Point #1:

The resurrection of Jesus gives us victory over sin. 

For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. (Romans 3:23, NLT)


Key Point #2:

The resurrection of Jesus offers us victory over death.

if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is useless and you are still guilty of your sins.
(1 Corinthians 15:17, NLT)

I am, right now, Resurrection and Life. The one who believes in me, even though he or she dies, will live. And everyone who lives believing in me does not ultimately die at all. (John 11:25-26, MSG)

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 1:18, NLT)

Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we’ve been given a brand-new life and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven… (1 Peter 1:3, MSG)


Key Point #3:

The resurrection of Jesus offers us grace. 

We can understand someone dying for a person worth dying for, and we can understand how someone good and noble could inspire us to selfless sacrifice. But God put his love on the line for us by offering his Son in sacrificial death while we were of no use whatever to him. (Romans 5:7-8, MSG)

If all we get out of Christ is a little inspiration for a few short years, we’re a pretty sorry lot. But the truth is that Christ has been raised up, the first in a long legacy of those who are going to leave the cemeteries. (1 Corinthians 15:19-20, MSG)
