Chris.
We know that ultimately the Victory we have is in Jesus Christ. It is a total and perfect Victory. The end of the Devil will be in eternal and terrible tormenting pain. We need to keep our focus always on Christ and on the Word of God. We have the Victory in Jesus Christ and let's not forget it.
