The Resurrection

"But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive" (1 Corinthians 15:20-22).

Christ overcame the power of death! Death could not hold Him! He conquered the sting of death, which is sin (1 Cor 15:56), and God "gives us the victory" over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Cor 15:56,57)!

So, let's live in this victory. "Become sober-minded as you ought, and stop sinning" (1 Cor 15:34). "...be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord" (1 Cor 15:58).
