Victory

“O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?"
1 Corinthians 15:55

Paul told the Corinthians that an evil lifestyle would corrupt a man (1 Corinthians 15:33) and eventually a life of sin would lead to death. But when you live righteously before God, Satan has no right to your soul.
The devil will attempt to kill you. He has been a murderer from the beginning (John 8:44). He will try to kill your friends, your family, your joy, and even your soul. Christ came to give us power over death.

Jesus defeated the grave, and it has no victory.

God wants His people to be full of joy – the kind the devil can’t steal and discouragement can’t dampen. The joy of the Lord is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10). There is no joy in hell, but in heaven there is joy unspeakable and full of glory.

"Jesus is your victory."
