Victory demands a high price. The victory you and I have in Jesus is ours because God paid the price by sending His own Son to die for us on the cross.
All that is required to have victory is faith in His Person, His Plans, His Purposes and His Power.
Isaiah 25:8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.
God's people need not fear death - Death is swallowed up in victory. 2 Cor. 5:1-8, Phil. 1:21-23; 1 Thes, 4:13-17
A day of victory will come when Jesus Himself will wipe away all tears - Rev. 21:4. He will heal all broken hearts - Psa. 30:5.
Eventually we will go to a place where trials will be unwelcome, and unable to enter, Rom. 8:18.
Since we have the victory, God's people ought to be a rejoicing people - Phil. 4:4; Psa. 47:1)
