How do we know Jesus fought for us on the cross?

The sermon reflects on how Jesus' death on the cross represents a significant conflict against our ultimate enemies: sin, death, and Satan. Passages such as Psalm 98 affirm the victory He accomplished as He bore the iniquities of the elect. The cross was not only an act of sacrifice but a battleground where Christ triumphed, leading captivity captive and securing eternal life for His people. This moment in history was foretold throughout the Old Testament, serving both a historical and theological role in God's redemptive plan, indicating that Christ’s death was indeed a major victory.
