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 Yahweh your God is he who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you."
8 Yahweh said to Joshua, "Don’t fear them, for I have delivered them into your hands. Not a man of them will stand before you."
31 The horse is prepared for the day of battle;
but victory is with Yahweh.
3 For they didn’t get the land in possession by their own sword,
neither did their own arm save them;
but your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face,
because you were favorable to them.
4 God, you are my King.
Command 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 whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from God’s love which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
31 What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
55 "Death, where is your sting?
Hades, where is your victory?"
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 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.
13 Therefore put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
16 for a righteous man falls seven times and rises up again,
but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
13 Through God, we will do valiantly,
for it is he who will tread down our enemies.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
and ten thousand at your right hand;
but it will not come near you.
13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
