"It Is Finished..."
Hebrews 4:12
New International Version
12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
How do we overcome the devil in everyday life? First, we need to recognize that the devil is a defeated foe. Jesus came to undo the work of the devil. His crucifixion which looked like a mighty victory for Satan, turned out to be a great triumph because it was on the cross that Jesus took our sins so that when our Lord bowed His head and said, “It is finished,” He was referring to the plan of redemption and salvation. Then . . . we are to resist the devil. If we resist him, Scripture says, he will flee from us. Jesus overcame the devil not by argument but simply by quoting Scripture. That is why it is so important to learn and memorize Scripture passages.
