The Bible teaches that victory is found in the Lord Jesus Christ, who has already won the ultimate battle against sin and death.
The victory in Christ is a central theme in scripture, illustrating that through Him, believers overcome sin, Satan, and death. Hebrews 11:32 points to examples from the Old Testament, like Gideon's victory over the Midianites, which serves as a precursor to the ultimate victory found in Jesus. As Gideon relied on God's strength rather than his own, so do we believe that our victories are rooted in the grace and power of Christ, who has already conquered all adversaries. Without the Lord's intervention, as seen in Gideon's story, victory remains elusive; it's only through Christ that we can claim true spiritual victory.
