How do we know that Christ has overcome the world?

Answered in 2 sources

We know Christ has overcome the world because of His complete victory over sin, death, and hell, as affirmed in Scripture.

The assurance that Christ has overcome the world is foundational to the Christian faith. In John 16:33, Jesus encourages His disciples with the truth of His victory, stating, 'Be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.' This victory is confirmed in multiple New Testament passages. For instance, Colossians 2:15 speaks of Christ triumphing over principalities and powers, making a public spectacle of them at the cross. Furthermore, through His resurrection, He defeated death itself, as seen in 1 Corinthians 15:55-57, where it is declared, 'O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?' Our confidence in His victory reassures us that through Christ, we have overcome as well.
