What happens at the moment of Christ’s crucifixion?

The moment of Christ's crucifixion represents a pivotal moment in salvation history. In John 12:31, Jesus states, 'Now is the judgment of this world; now shall the prince of this world be cast out.' This indicates that through His sacrificial death, Jesus not only judged rebellion against God but also decisively defeated Satan, stripping him of his power over sin and death (Hebrews 2:14). Consequently, Christ's work on the cross ushers in the fulfillment of God’s justice, paving the way for the salvation of the elect. Revelation 12 further illustrates this victory, showing how Christ's death and resurrection led to Satan being cast down from his place of accusation against believers. This moment not only assures believers of their salvation but also reflects the glorious grandeur of God's redemptive plan.
