Be different!

Refusing to personally accept Christ´s substitutionary atonement leaves a person with the responsibility of paying his or her own sin debt. Won´t you thank the Savior for your amazing free gift—or receive it from Him now?
Hebrews 2:14-15 A day after the crucifixion, life must have looked hopeless to Jesus´ followers. They´d watched their beloved leader die, and the enemy seemed to have won.
Considering the prevalence of evil today, we could make the same assumption. But we´d be wrong because when Christ died on the cross, Satan was defeated. In Genesis 3:15, the evil one—who had spoken through the serpent—was cursed for his part in Adam and Eve´s sin.
Referring to the conflict between the realms of light and darkness, God told Satan, ´He shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise him on the heel.´
This was the Lord´s way of foretelling, ´Christ will be victorious over you.´ That´s why the enemy went to such great lengths in both testaments to derail God´s program of redemption, even attempting genocide to prevent Jesus´ arrival or otherwise disrupt the divine agenda (Est. 3:6; Matt. 2:16).
Since the devil knows all the prophecies, he was well aware that Jesus Christ, the virgin-born, sinless, incarnate Son of God, came to give His life a ransom for many (Matt. 20:28).
This meant that if the Lamb of God died on the cross at Passover, His shed blood would pay mankind´s sin debt in full (Rom. 4:7-8). Satan did want Jesus to die, but at any other time and in any other way. (See Luke 4:29-30.)
Yet all his efforts amounted to ´nipping on the heel´ compared to the deathblow Christ would deliver from the cross.
