Victory on the Cross

Looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God – Hebrews 12:2.

Victory over Satan

                   Jesus conquered Satan at Calvary. Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it - Colossians 2:15. 1 John 3:8 says, “The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work”.

Victory over sins

                  Jesus paid the penalty of our sins that we might be forgiven. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him - 2 Corinthians 5:21. He Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness - by whose stripes you were healed - 1 Peter 2:24.

Victory over death

                     Jesus died on the cross for us to live. But has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel - 2 Timothy 1:10.

Victory over darkness

                God has delivered us from the power of darkness. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love - Colossians 1:13. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin - 1 John 1:7.

Victory over the world              

                   Our God who lives in us is greater than the one who is in the world. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world - John 16:33. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world - our faith - 1 John 5:4. 1 Corinthians 15:57 says, “But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Victorious life

                  When Christ died on the cross, the work of salvation was completed and He provided access for us into His holy presence. Our old life is crucified as our spirit becomes joined to Christ as one spirit. Let us lead a victorious life as Jesus had already defeated Satan on the cross and we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

                                                       

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You as Your victory on the cross gives us hope to lead a victorious life. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
