55O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Victory! The Biggest Win!! If you can't pass life's biggest test, which is death, you haven't won. Every year, the Super Bowl and the World Series are played. The champion is only the winner for a year. But a Christian will always be a winner because, in Jesus, he or she has won over death.

Prayer

God, I appreciate You giving me victory through Jesus Christ. Make His will triumphantly present in me right now, as it will be when He raises me from the dead and returns me to You. As I battle sin every day, in Jesus' precious name I pray. Amen.
