Victory in Christ's Resurrection

54 When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written:
                  “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
            55       “O death, where is your victory?
      O death, where is your sting?”
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
1 Corinthians 15:54-58

Victory in Christ's Resurrection
In Christ’s resurrection, death's power is utterly defeated. Jesus, through His death and resurrection, swallowed up death’s sting once and for all. Our victory isn’t rooted in our strength but in Christ's work on the cross. He took the punishment of sin and rose victorious, turning death from a final foe into a defeated enemy. This triumph assures us that our labor in the Lord is never in vain. Grounded in the certainty of Christ’s victory, we stand firm, steadfast, and abounding in His work, knowing that our hope is anchored in the One who conquered the grave.
