Hebrews 2:14-15 - Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. “Have you ever been filled with a sense of amazement and wonder at the drama of the cross? - the drama, the conflict, the fight?” “As we look at the cross, why do we see all this feeling, why all this hatred? There is only one explanation. It is the devil that is fighting. It is the devil in these men and women.” “The world was very pleased with itself, as it looked upon Him there dying upon the cross. That is why they laugh. That is why they are joking. At last they had got Him, they had nailed Him, they had killed Him. They thought He was finished. - Was He?” Colossians 2:13-15 - And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This He set aside, nailing it to the cross. 15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in Him. “The devil has no power of his own.” What does he mean by this? “The moment we are out of touch with God, we are the devil’s helpless tools. And that is the position of the entire human race.” “Christ defeated our ultimate enemy, the devil, the one who originally brought man and the universe down.” Was it the devil that brought us down or Adam’s sin? 1 John 3:8-9 - Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. 9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. To bring us to glory and to destroy the works of the devil. That is the object of our Lord's coming, correct? Also, sanctification? I beseech you therefore brethren by the mercies of God. You see that you present your bodies a living sacrifice. On the cross, Jesus ruined Satan’s kingdom, and now Satan has no power or authority over us. So, Jesus destroyed the destroyer.
