1 Corinthians 15:57:
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Notes on 1 Corinthians 15:57:
This doesn’t say to thank God who “lets you win” the victory. You don’t have to win the victory – it’s a gift from the Lord Jesus Christ! If a man wins a million dollars going through horrific ordeals on a reality TV show, he’s a conqueror, but if he goes home to his wife and she gets to spend some of it, she’s more than a conqueror! Jesus has made you more than a conqueror, not a conqueror. That’s because you didn’t have to do the conquering.
You don’t have to bind a strong man before you can plunder his house. Jesus talked about that (Matthew 12:29, Mark 3:27), but HE is the strong man who plundered Satan and took his armor away. That isn’t YOUR job! You receive the victory that Jesus won for you; you don’t fight for it yourself.
If you have victory through Jesus, that includes victory over sickness and pain! Thanks be to God!
