Colossians 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
We are told in this passage that Jesus totally and completely defeated satan and all of his minions of darkness at the Cross. Just exactly how was it done? Sin is the legal means by which satan can hold men and women in bondage. It is called the “the law of the sin of death”
Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
Satan has a legal right, given to him by God to do what he is doing, as it regards holding men and women captive because we all have sinned.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
You may say I am a good moral person and I don’t sin. If that is the case then you just called God a liar!
1st John 1:8-10 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
What is Sin?
Sin is the transgression of the Law 1st John 1:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
The Law of God, as given to Moses, was God’s standard of Righteousness. Morally it is summed up in the Ten Commandments. So sin is a transgression of those commandments. Every human who has ever lived, other then Jesus Christ, has transgressed the law thereby incurring the penalty, the penalty of death. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
When Jesus died on the cross, he atoned for all sin, past, present, and future, for all of those who will believe.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Hebrews 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
When he atoned for all sin, this removed satan’s legal right to hold men and women in bondage. Satan’s right was sin and with that gone the law of God was satisfied and satans legal right was stripped away. If we are presently held in satanic bondage, it is because we have not availed ourselves of what Jesus has done for us on the Cross, We can do that by simply by placing our faith in Christ and HIS finished work that took place there.
John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
When Jesus atoned for all sin, he not only atoned for acts of sin, but he also addressed the very cause of sin which is satan. Sin and all its ramifications were therefore totally defeated at the Cross. Jesus had victory over all of the spirit world and that means satan, every fallen angel, and every demon spirit knows what Jesus did at the Cross and they KNOW they have been defeated. Not only did Jesus defeat satan and his minions, but he did it openly!
Colossians 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
If you are in bondage to sin, you are a captive of satan and you can be freed from that bondage.
John 8:32-36 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

If you go to the store to buy Meat, don't run to the Milk section or the Junk Food aisle looking for it!!
The Meat Section is the True Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The Milk Section is likened to those who will not preach on sin and Hell, just a feel good message, the Social gospel.
The Junk Food Isle is the outright false doctrine AKA the prosperity gospel, name it and claim it, the Hebraic Roots movement and other false teachings!!
Feasting on just Milk and Junk will eventually cause you great harm, you can count on it!!
