How does Hebrews 2:14 relate to Christ's victory over the devil?

Answered in 1 source

Hebrews 2:14 asserts that Christ's death destroys the devil's power over humanity.

In Hebrews 2:14, it is stated that 'Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity, so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil.' This verse emphasizes the significance of Christ's incarnation and sacrificial death, which effectively broke the chains of sin and death that the devil held over humanity. His victory over sin and the grave assures believers that, though the devil exists and continues to roam as an adversary, his power has been rendered ineffective for those who are in Christ. As a result, believers can live in the freedom of their salvation and the assurance of eternal life, no longer fearing death or the devil's influence.
