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 he who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.’
And the Lord said to Joshua, "Do not fear them, for I have given them into your hands. Not a man of them shall stand before you."
The horse is made ready for the day of battle,
but the victory belongs to the Lord.
for not by their own sword did they win the land,
nor did their own arm save them,
but your right hand and your arm,
and the light of your face,
for you delighted in them.
You are my King, O God;
ordain salvation 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.
For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
"O death, where is your victory?
O death, where 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.
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
for the righteous falls seven times and rises again,
but the wicked stumble in times of calamity.
With God we shall do valiantly;
it is he who will tread down our foes.
A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
