Professional Wrestling is staged. Before the wrestlers ever go out, it has been predetermined who will win. The contenders go through the battle for entertainment purposes but the point of the battle is not to decide who will win, but to give the crowd a show. The winner of the match does not battle for victory but from victory.
Those of us who are in Christ have already won the battle over sins of the flesh and mind. God allows us to go through our Christian walk, not to win the victory but to show off to the world that "He that is in us is greater than he that is in the world." We battle "from" our victory in Christ, and not "for" our victory in Christ. The Bible says, "But thanks be to God who gives (has given) us the victory through Jesus Christ" (1 Cor. 15:57-58). We have already overcome!
