How do we know Jesus' victory over sin is assured?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus' victory over sin is ensured through His role as our federal head and the doctrines of substitution and representation.

The assurance of Jesus' victory over sin lies significantly in the biblical doctrine of federal headship, wherein Christ represents His people. Just as David faced Goliath as Israel's champion, and the outcome affected the entire nation, so Jesus faced the ultimate enemy—sin and death—on behalf of His people. Had He failed, all of humanity would have been enslaved to sin. This doctrine also underscores how God works through substitution, meaning that Christ stands in our place, bearing the penalty for sin and securing our redemption. In His victory, we share in the spoils of grace and salvation, enabling us to enjoy a restored relationship with God.
