Battle is Already Won

Because Easter just happened last weekend, I wanted a devotional themed around the death and resurrection of Christ, specifically that the battle is won! 

When Jesus died on the cross, He defeated our sin and the evil in this world. When He rose from the dead, we were raised up as well, a new life with Christ living in us.

“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” (Gal 2:20)

Does anyone have any thoughts on this that they would like to share?

“In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

All the struggles, the sin, and the pain that we deal with can feel crushing. But God has defeated the enemy, and we have been saved from sin and death. This doesn’t mean we don’t suffer, but it does give us hope for the future. We know that no matter how difficult the spiritual battle, victory is assured. There will come a day when we will be able to stand with God, free from everything that weighs us down. Like stepping outside into the sun and breathing the cool fresh air.
