Victory with Christ over Satan

Romans 6:5 For if we have become one plant with him through conformity to his death, we shall also be one plant with him through conformity to his resurrection,

Colossians 2:12 having been buried with him in baptism, you have also been raised up in him and with him, through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.

These texts clearly show that we were in Christ and with Him when Satan was beaten to a pulp on the cross and in the resurrection. It was a joint victory, Christ and us over him.

Satan has not meanwhile acquired any more strength than he had when he was fighting Christ.
This means that the same defeat he suffered at the time of Christ, he can still suffer today, since the data and characters have not changed.
In the time of Christ, it was Christ and the church in him. Today, it's the Church and Christ in her. Nothing has changed.

So no one can die, go through hell, come out and go back in again.
Christ had this experience only once: he died once, was buried once and rose once. He will never experience anything like it again, as it says in Romans 6:9: "Knowing that Christ is risen from the dead and dies no more; death has no more power over him".

We too, in Christ, have known this experience through faith in Him by identifying with His death and resurrection.
So I can safely say that I will no longer know the hell that I have already known together with Christ, hallelujah!
Having been transported to the celestial kingdom, I shall never again descend into the arena of darkness from which I was plucked!
Colossians 1:13 "who delivered us from the power of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son of his love".,

It is with reason that we can say with Paul: "There is therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1).

May fear leave our minds and God's peace win our hearts!

"It's never too late to (re) start doing better with the Lord."
