What does it mean that Christ defeated Satan?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's defeat of Satan signifies the liberation of believers from sin and death.

The defeat of Satan by Christ is central to the gospel and signifies a radical transformation for believers. As stated in Hebrews 2:14-15, Christ shared in our humanity to fully crush the devil's power over death and to free those who were enslaved by their fear of death. The proclamation that there is 'no more axe man' means that through Christ's sacrifice, the dominion of sin and the accusations of the devil have been dismantled. Isaiah 14 illustrates the celebration of God’s people as they recognize their security in Christ, who not only defeated their enemies but also upholds them in His grace. This victory is not just historical; it is a present reality for believers who, through faith, experience the ongoing power of the Holy Spirit in their lives, enabling them to overcome sin and live righteously.
