Vitória
A vitória do cristão não depende de suas próprias forças, mas do poder de Deus que opera em nós. As Escrituras declaram que somos mais que vencedores por meio daquele que nos amou.
A vitória vem de Deus
O Senhor luta por nós. Quando confiamos nele, nenhuma arma forjada contra nós prosperará e nenhum inimigo prevalecerá.

3 \44:2\Uprooting the nations with your hand, and planting our fathers in their place; cutting down the nations, but increasing the growth of your people.4 \44:3\For they did not make the land theirs by their swords, and it was not their arms which kept them safe; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face, because you had pleasure in them.
Mais que vencedores
Em todas as circunstâncias, a fé nos dá a vitória. O mundo tenta nos derrubar, mas Cristo já venceu o mundo e nos faz triunfar.
4 Anything which comes from God is able to overcome the world: and the power by which we have overcome the world is our faith.
37 But we are able to overcome all these things and more through his love.38 For I am certain that not death, or life, or angels, or rulers, or things present, or things to come, or powers,39 Or things on high, or things under the earth, or anything which is made, will be able to come between us and the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
31 What may we say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us?
55 O death, where is your power? O death, where are your pains?56 The pain of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law:57 But praise be to God who gives us strength to overcome through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Força para a batalha
Deus nos reveste com sua armadura espiritual, nos fortalece e nos encoraja. Mesmo que o justo caia sete vezes, ele se levanta.
