The Victorious Gospel

b'Jesus won.\\nHe went up against the cosmic forces of sin and death and beat them. He died, but He didn\\u2019t stay dead. His body came alive after three days in the tomb, and He is no longer mortal. He is free from death because He beat it. He is free from sin because He beat it. Decay, hatred, hopelessness\\u2014He beat them all.\\nAnd to the Victor goes the spoils. He won the hearts of His people, but He also won their bodies, promising to resurrect them one day too. He won the planet called Earth, and the web of life that covers it. He won Luna, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and the star Sol. He won the Milky Way galaxy and the whole universe, observable or not.\\nThat\\u2019s why, as Christians, we don\\u2019t have to be afraid, even when it seems like Satan is winning. Even when it seems like the forces of sin, death, and confusion are overrunning the people of Christ. We aren\\u2019t fighting the battle. The battle has been fought, and the battle has been won by Jesus Christ.\\nHe will return, He will raise our bodies from the dead, and His people will live with Him in His universe forever. There will be no sin, and there will be no dying.\\nBecause Jesus beat them to death.\\n\\u2022 How does knowing that Jesus Christ beat sin and death change your everyday life?\\n\\u2022 What role does the resurrection play in Jesus\\u2019 victory? \\nTo learn more about how Jesus beat sin and death, check out our \\u201cKnow Jesus\\u201d page.\\nIn this way, he [Jesus] disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross. Colossians 2:15 (NLT)\\n\\xa0\\nRead Verses:\\nColossians 2:10-15'
