Overcoming Discouragement

1 Corinthians 15:56-58

Satan seemed victorioiuos in The Garden of Eden and thought he would be victorious again when Jesus was crucified. But God turned satans apparent victory into defeat when Jesus Christ rose from the dead. Thus death is no longer a source of dread or fear. Christ overcame it, and one day we will also.

The death and resurrection of Christ Jesus end the dominating power of sin and death.

Because of the Resurrection, nothing we do for the Lord is useless. 8[Sometimes we become apathetic about serving the Lord or hesitate to do good because we don’t see any results. Knowing that Christ has won the ultimate victory should affect the way we live right now. Don’t let discouragement over an apparent lack of results keep you from doing the work of the Lord enthusiastically as you have opportunity, knowing that your work will have eternal results.Nothing you do for the Lord is useless. There will be eternal rewards for those who serve him faithfully.
