Victory's Source: Christ's Blood
Commentators unanimously affirm that the believer's victory over Satan is grounded in "the blood of the Lamb." This is not a victory earned by human strength, but one received through Christ's atoning sacrifice. His blood redeems, justifies, and cleanses, rendering the accuser's charges powerless. As multiple scholars note, victory comes from a simple reliance on the blood of Christ as the only ground of hope.
