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.
4 For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory."
8 The LORD said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid of them; I have given them into your hand. Not one of them will be able to withstand you."
31 The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the LORD.
3 It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them.4 You are my King and my God, who decrees "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.
4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, "neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
55 "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" [9]56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.57 But thanks be to God! He 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.
13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
16 for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.
13 With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies.
7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
