How do we know that Christ has overcome our enemies?
Answered in 1 source
Christ has overcome our enemies of sin, Satan, and the world through His sacrificial death and resurrection.
The assurance of Christ's victory over our enemies is rooted in biblical truth. He has conquered sin by dying for our sins and removing them from us as far as the east is from the west (Psalm 103:12). Additionally, in Genesis 3:15, it is prophesied that the Messiah would crush the head of the serpent, signifying His triumph over Satan. Moreover, the power of the world, which seduces and tempts believers, has been defeated as well. Jesus declared, 'In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world' (John 16:33). These truths signify that Christ's redemptive work assures believers of their victory over sin, Satan, and the world.
