Month of Thanksgiving - Day 12

歌林多前書 15:55-57
55 死阿! 你得勝的權勢在那裡? 死阿! 你的毒鉤在那裡? 56 死的毒鉤就是罪, 罪的權勢就是律法。 57感謝神, 使我們藉著我們的主耶穌基督得勝。

1 Corinthians 15:55-57
55 “O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?” 56 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.



Indeed thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

These are three simple verses. Yet they are so powerful and so life transforming! When was the last time that you thought about this huge battle of epic proportions? Death had his grip on all of us, firmly taken hold of us and casted us under his chains. But, thanks to our Lord! His love would no let us go. Although we were destined for the fiery pit due to our sin, He ransomed us with His own life, triumphing over death. As sinners saved by grace, we can boldly declare that we have the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. The battle was very real. Let us not take our salvation for granted. Indeed, let us remember and give thanks to our Lord. For He is our only salvation, and our only path to victory. Lord, we the redeemed thank you! Help us to never forget and to never take your grace & mercy lightly.
