1 Corinthians 15:57

but thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

'but thanks be to God' -and when was the last time you thanked God for this?

'And while sin was powerful and death was universal, the Lord God was on our side!....We weren't left alone to wrestle with what turned out to be too powerful for us. We were "given" the victory, we didn't earn it!' (McGuiggan p. 205)

Jesus Christ made atonement for sin (John 1:29; John 3:16; Hebrews 7:27); He removed us from the curse of the Law of Moses (Colossians 2:14; Colossians 2:16); He also removed us from. system of "Law Justification" (Romans 8:1); and in His resurrection He defeated the power of death. (Hebrews 2:14; Revelation 1:18) 'Wonderful threefold victory!' (McGarvey p. 159)
