Angelic Conflict, Strategic Victory of Jesus Christ on the Cross

The strategic victory in the Angelic Conflict was due to the work of Jesus Christ on the Cross being judged by God the Father for the sins of all mankind. Mankind can only be delivered from eternal condemnation by faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. This deliverance by salvation erases the fear of death by applying 1 Corinthians 15:54-57 and Hebrews 2:13-16.

“But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, “DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory. “O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”  (1 Corinthians 15:54-57, NASB)

“And again, “I WILL PUT MY TRUST IN HIM.” And again, “BEHOLD, I AND THE CHILDREN WHOM GOD HAS GIVEN ME.” Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives. For assuredly He does not give help to angels, but He gives help to the descendant of Abraham.”  (Hebrews 2:13-16, NASB)

Jesus Christ took on the form of man and therefore was made lower than angels that he might die spiritually for every man. Heb. 2:9.

"But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone."  (Hebrews 2:9, NASB)
