Your Victory in Resurrection

Paul wrote that, because of sin, death has reigned in all our lives (Romans 5:17). We feel this cruel reign as we experience the impact of sin in the world. Yet, even in the Old Testament, the Bible promises that one day God would swallow up death in victory. There would be no more loss, no more pain.

Through the Resurrection of Jesus, everything changes for us. We still experience the consequences of sin and sometimes face strained relationships and financial, emotional, or physical needs. We still endure pain and may shed tears because of problems or troubles in the world. But we can be victorious because of the finished work of Jesus on the Cross for us.

We need to remember the words of Paul that “if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you” (Romans 8:11). God has promised His Resurrection life and power to all who believe in Jesus! He has promised to quicken our mortal bodies!

Today, no matter what struggles you face, remember that Jesus died for your sins. You can be forgiven of every sin you’ve committed. You can be healed, because by His stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). You can know the power of His Resurrection to change your life—right now!

Declare victory, and dedicate your life to Him! He has swallowed up death for all time! And He will wipe away every tear from your eyes!
