What does it mean that Christ abolished death?

Answered in 2 sources

Christ's abolition of death signifies His victory over sin, death, and hell through His death and resurrection.

In 2 Timothy 1:10, Paul boldly proclaims that Christ abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. This act represents the ultimate victory of Jesus over sin and death, fulfilling the prophetic declarations of Scripture regarding the coming Messiah. While physical death remains a reality, the spiritual death that separates us from God has been conquered through the atoning sacrifice of Christ. Hebrews 2:14 confirms that through His death, Jesus rendered powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil. Thus, believers can live with the hope and assurance of their eternal life in Christ, as He not only defeated death but also offers us resurrection life.
