1 Corinthians 15:57 - Exposition

Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory. The victory consists in the defeat of death by the Resurrection, and the forgiveness of sin through Christ's atone-merit, and the nailing to his cross of the torn and abrogated Law which made us slaves to sin and death ( Colossians 2:14 ). "In all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us" ( Romans 8:37 ). Through our Lord Jesus Christ. Who, by fulfilling the Law, has robbed it of its condemning power ( Romans 8:1 ), and by his death "hath destroyed him that had the power of death, that is the devil" ( Hebrews 2:14 , Hebrews 2:15 ).
