The work of the
devil is to tempt people to sin. But also to destroy sin as a way of life for
the Christian. ( Romans 6:1)

Hebrews
2:14-15 Since the children have flesh
and blood, he shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy
him who holds the power of death- that is, the devil- and free those who all
their lives were held in slavery by
their fear of death.
The Only Lethal
Weapon the Devil Has
w
Now how does that
render powerless the one who had the power of death, the devil? It doesn't mean
Christians don't die a physical death – sometimes very painful ones. Nor does
it mean that Satan can't kill us (see Revelation 2:10). What it means is that
the only weapon the devil can use to destroy us in death is our sin. Nobody
goes to hell because they are oppressed by the devil or even possessed by the
devil… The only reason anybody goes to hell is because of their own sin. And
all Satan can do is fight to keep you sinning and to keep you away from the one
who forgives sin… Because if your sin is forgiven, and the wrath of God
Almighty is turned away from you, then the devil is disarmed.

Hebrews 2:14-15

death.

triumphing over them by the cross.

When a Roman
general had won a really notable victory, he was allowed to march his
victorious armies through the streets of Rome and behind him followed the kings
and the leaders and the peoples he had vanquished. They were openly branded as
his spoils. Paul thinks of Jesus as a conqueror enjoying a kind of cosmic
triumph, and in his triumphal procession are the powers of evil, beaten for
ever, for every one to see.

to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ”
John 19:
28-30
28- Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the Scripture would
be fulfilled, Jesus said, “ I am
thirsty.”
29- A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the
sponge on the stalk of the hyssop plant , and lifted it to Jesus’ lips.
30-When he has received the drink, Jesus said, “ it is finished.
“ With that, he bowed his head and give up his spirit
