Speaking of trails and tribulations, another purpose for Christ's coming into the world was to ultimately destroy the works of Satan and his demons. It was penned of God in Hebrews 2:14-15 that, “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, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery” (ESV). When Jesus died on the cross, Satan and his demons, the fallen angels, ultimately lost the war. I also want to note from this passage that we as Christian never have to fear death, because in our eyes, as the Apostle Paul said, “So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil” (2 Corinthians 5:6-10, ESV).
