1 Corinthians 15:55-57
“Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Application:

One day we will all be changed … in the twinkling of an eye (15:51 52). Our corruptible bodies will be clothed with incorruptibility; our mortal bodies clothed with immortality (15:53-54). Pain, sickness, disease, disability, and suffering of every kind will be gone. 

Our resurrection bodies will be indestructible and incorruptible. For all those in Christ Jesus, there is no sting to death, for death is swallowed up in victory (15:54-55). Death results from sin (see also Rom 6:23), and sin gets power from the law (15:56). 

When God’s law commands, “Do not,” the sinful human heart desires the opposite (see Rom 7:7-11). But because of his faithfulness to perfectly keep the law and bear our sins, our Lord Jesus Christ has given us the victory (15:57).

Therefore…be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. The salvation Christ accomplished through his cross and resurrection is the gracious gift of God for sinners.

To God be the glory!

Our Lord Jesus Christ created everything! By Him, For Him!
