"Forever"

I love this song because of how it paints a picture of the crucifixion and reminds the enemy that he is defeated and has no more control. My favorite part of the whole song is “our resurrected King has rendered you defeated” because it’s so powerful for us to realize that death has lost its sting. Life Himself defeated the grave.

When Jesus died on the cross and rose again on the third day, He overcame and now through Him, we can overcome as well. He took on every sin, past, present, and future for you and for me. We were once dead to sin but now, when we believe in Him and what He has done, we are alive and free!

As I think upon the realization that God has given me victory, life eternal and my sins have been paid for, once and for all, thankfulness and praise can’t help but overflow through my worship. We can all stand and sing with the wonderful assurance that Jesus Christ is alive, He is risen, and death has been conquered forevermore!

As 1 Corinthians 15:55-57 (NLT) says,
“O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?
For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power. But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Live in His glorious victory today. Forever, He is glorified, He is lifted high, He is risen and He is alive. “Hallelujah, the lamb has overcome.”
