55 “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” 56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Living an imperfect life is misery to me. The impact sin has on me and the people around me is never pleasant to think about. But ultimately Jesus has victory over our sin. This doesn’t mean that sin in my life just goes away, though I wish it would, but it does mean sin does not have victory over us in eternity. The pain and suffering we experience is temporary and in this life only. It is nothing but a blink until we are in God’s presence.
