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 your Lord God is in the midst of you, and he shall fight for you against your adversaries, that he deliver you from peril.
And the Lord said to Joshua, Dread thou not them, for I have given them into thine hands; and none of them shall be able to against-stand thee.
An horse is made ready to the day of battle; but the Lord shall give health.
For the children of Israel wielded the land not by their sword; and the arm of them saved not them. But thy right hand, and thine arm, and the lightening of thy cheer; for thou were pleased in them.
Thou art thyself, my king, and my God; that sendest healths to 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 all thing that is born of God, overcometh the world; and this is the victory that overcometh the world, our faith.
But in all these things we overcome, for him that loved us.
But I am certain, that neither death, neither life, neither angels, neither principalities, neither virtues, neither present things, neither things to coming [or to come], neither strength,
neither height, neither deepness, neither any other creature, may part us from the charity of God, that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
What then shall we say to these things? If God be for us, who is against us?
Death, where is thy victory? Death, where is thy prick?
But the prick of death is sin; and the virtue of sin is the law.
But do we thankings to God, that gave to us victory by 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 ye the armour of God, that ye may against-stand in the evil day; and in all things stand perfect.
For a just [or rightwise] man shall fall seven times in the day, and shall rise again; but wicked men shall fall into evil.
We shall make virtue in God; and he shall bring our enemies to nought.
A thousand shall fall down from thy side, and ten thousand from thy right side; forsooth it shall not nigh to thee.
I may all things in him that comforteth me.
