Victory
1 Corinthians 15:57 ESV
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
The cynic might question why we should give thanks to God. The Apostle Paul gives a reason even in this verse. God gives us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Because Jesus has defeated death, we can too. Death no longer has the victory. The grave no longer has a sting.
Without Christ, there's a finality about death. Without him, we're hopeless. With him, death is simply falling asleep until he wakes us up again.
Nothing can separate us from the love of God for us in Christ. Not even death can separate us from his love. He's removed the curse we deserve for our sins.
'Dear God, we're so grateful for the victory we enjoy in Christ. May we ever live to give you thanks, in his name we pray, amen'.
