What does the Bible say about Christ's reward for His victory?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that Christ's reward includes spiritual riches, His bride, and freedom from bondage.
In 1 Samuel 17:25, the promise of great riches, the king's daughter, and freedom for the man's household is given to anyone who defeats Goliath. This reflects the greater spiritual truths concerning Christ's victory over sin, death, and hell. By conquering these great enemies, Christ receives spiritual riches as the Lamb who was slain, embodies a covenant relationship with His church, and grants believers freedom from the law and bondage of sin. Thus, Christ's victory over the giant represents His substitutionary atonement, where His church benefits from all the promises associated with His triumph.
