By overcoming the desires of his own nature, the Biblical devil, Jesus was able to destroy the devil on the cross (Heb.2:14). If the devil is a personal being, then he should no longer exist. Heb.9:26 says that Christ was manifested "to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself". Heb.2:14 matches this with the statement that through his death Christ destroyed the devil in himself.
Kutokufahamu vema mafunzo ya Ibilisi maana yake ni kwamba kwa usahihi hatuwezi kuelewa mwili na kazi ya Yesu. Ilikuwa ni kwa sababu tu Yesu alikuwa na mwili wa mwanadamu - Ibilisi ndani yake - hata tumeweza kuwa na tumaini la wokovu (Ebra. 2: 14 -18; 4: 15). Kwa kuzishinda nia za mwili wake mwenyewe, Ibilisi wa Biblia, Yesu aliweza kumharibu Ibilisi juu ya msalaba Ebra. 9:26 unasema kuwa Kristo alifunuliwa "azitangue dhambi kwa dhabihu ya nafsi yake" Ebra. 2:14 unalingana na taarifa ya kuwa Kristo kwa kifo chake amemharibu Ibilisi ndani yake mwenyewe.
