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.
For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.’
The Lord said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid of them, for I have handed them over to you. Not one of them will be able to stand against you."
A horse is prepared for the day of battle,
but victory comes from the Lord.
For they did not take the land by their sword —
their arm did not bring them victory —
but by your right hand, your arm,
and the light of your face,
because you were favorable toward them.
You are my King, my God,
who ordains victories for Jacob.
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.
because everyone who has been born of God conquers the world. This is the victory that has conquered the world: our faith.
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
What, then, are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us?
Where, death, is your victory?
Where, death, is your sting?,
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory 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.
For this reason take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having prepared everything, to take your stand.
Though a righteous person falls seven times,
he will get up,
but the wicked will stumble into ruin.
With God we will perform valiantly;
he will trample our foes.
Though a thousand fall at your side
and ten thousand at your right hand,
the pestilence will not reach you.
I am able to do all things through him who strengthens me.
