What a sweet time with the Lord…in His Word…in His presence…studying my standing IN HIM…praising His name…thanking Jesus for His finished work on the Cross and His resurrection from the grave that I may live an overcomer in His victory…every day and every hour of the day!

Victory
Victory: Strong’s Concordance G3534 From G3529; a conquest (concretely), that is, (by implication) triumph: – victory.
1Corinthians 15:54 “So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.”
1Corinthians 15:57 “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Clark Commentary: 1Corinthians 15:57
But thanks be to God – What the law could not do, because it is law, (and law cannot provide pardon), is done by the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: he has died to slay death; he has risen again to bring mankind from under the empire of hades. All this he has done through his mere unmerited mercy; and eternal thanks are due to God for this unspeakable gift. He has given us the victory over sin, Satan, death, the grave, and hell.

And the end of the story:
Revelation 15:2 “ And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.”
Victory: Strong’s Concordance G3528—same word as overcome to subdue (literally or figuratively): – conquer, overcome, prevail, get the victory.
