The Bible teaches that death is the result of sin and that Satan holds power over it, but Christ has defeated death through His sacrifice.
In scripture, death is depicted as the ultimate consequence of sin. Romans 5:12 explains that through Adam, sin entered the world and death followed. Satan, described as the great enemy, has the power of death, holding humanity in bondage to fear (Hebrews 2:14-15). However, through the death and resurrection of Christ, believers are assured that death has been conquered (1 Corinthians 15:55-57). This victory is essential for Christians as it provides eternal life and hope beyond physical death.
