How do we know Jesus overcame Satan?

The victory of Jesus over Satan is most profoundly illustrated in His sacrificial death and resurrection. As Ryle notes, although Satan is a formidable foe, Christ's work on the cross publicly defeated him. Jesus, as the Friend of sinners, has the authority to free those who are captive to sin, breaking the chains of darkness. This triumph is pivotal for believers, as it offers hope and assurance that through Christ, they too can experience liberation from sin and the oppressive hold of the enemy.
