1 Corinthians 15:55
1 Corinthians 15:55
Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?
The question, "Where, O death, is your victory?" reflects the triumph of life over death through Christ. Death, which once seemed final and victorious, is now defeated by the resurrection of Jesus. The sting of death, which is sin, has been removed, and believers are free from the fear and power of death. This passage celebrates the victory of Christ, not just over His own death, but over the death of all who trust in Him. For Christians, death no longer holds the final word; instead, life, through the resurrection, triumphs. This verse offers hope to those grieving, knowing that death does not have the power it once did. We can face death with courage and peace, knowing that Christ has defeated it once and for all.
Romans 14:8
For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
Hebrews 9:27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.
1 Corinthians 15:42
So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable.
1 Corinthians 15:21
For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.
