See Jesus Defeat The Devil

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Mar 7, 2022

Because Christ fought the battle against Satan as one of us, he won that battle for all of us. Jesus is our perfect substitute. Even as the devil rages against us, we can face him and his temptations unafraid, confident that our champion, Jesus, has already won the victory over him.
