How do we know that we have overcome the wicked one?
Answered in 2 sources
Believers know they have overcome the wicked one through the blood of the Lamb, which provides them victory over sin and Satan.
In Revelation 12:11, it is declared that believers overcome the accuser by the blood of the Lamb. This victory is not achieved through our strength or efforts but rests solely upon Christ's redemptive work. As the accuser brings forth our sins before God, our justification through Jesus' blood guarantees that those accusations are nullified. Thus, our testimony stands on the simple yet profound declaration that we are victorious solely because of what Christ has done for us. This assurance enables believers to live in the freedom of grace, knowing they are no longer bound by sin's power.
