Pensamento:
Somente os cristãos vencem na vida. Isso porque nenhum de nós que é humano tem o poder de segurar nosso maior inimigo, a morte. Mas quando temos perseverado, recebemos a última vitória: VIDA que não tem fim porque nossas vidas estão nas mãos daquele que venceu a morte!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Only Christians win at life. That's because none of us who are human has the power to hold back our greatest enemy, death (Hebrews 2:14-15; 1 Corinthians 15:26). But when we have persevered, we are given the ultimate victory: THE CROWN OF LIFE, life that will not end (Revelation 2:10). Because our lives are in the hands of the one who defeated death, death cannot separate us from our victory in Jesus Christ our Lord! As the apostle Paul emphatically proclaimed:
When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory."
"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.
Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. (1 Corinthians 15:54-57)

My Prayer...
Thank you, Father, for giving me the assurance that when all is said and done, I will share in your life and Jesus' victory over sin, death, hell, and the evil one, forever. Help me to live today confidently, knowing that I have your life and that the living part of me, united with Jesus, will never die.* In the name of Jesus, my conquering King, I pray. Amen.
* John 10:25; Colossians 3:1-4.
