How do we know Christ's authority over demons is true?
Answered in 1 source
Christ's authority over demons is validated through His consistent miracles, where He commands evil spirits and they obey Him.
The authority of Christ over demons is a central theme in the New Testament, particularly evident in accounts such as the one involving the mad Gadarene. The demons recognized Jesus, indicating His supreme power over the spiritual realm. According to scripture, all creation, including angels and fallen beings, is subject to Christ's authority (Colossians 1:16). When Jesus confronts the demons, they are powerless against His will, revealing His divinity and sovereignty. This authority is not just historical but continues today, as believers are assured that in Christ, they possess the power to resist spiritual darkness.
