How does Jesus defeat death according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus defeats death by taking on human nature and overcoming it, thereby liberating those enslaved by the fear of death.

The victory of Jesus over death is a central theme in the New Testament, particularly in Hebrews 2:14-15, which reveals how he took on human flesh and blood to confront and conquer death. By submitting to death, Christ dismantled the power of the devil, who held dominion through death. His resurrection confirmed this victory, demonstrating that he has overcome the greatest fear that humanity faces. Believers can therefore face death without fear, knowing that it has been defeated by Christ's triumph.
