ANSWER: Sin, and Satan, may win some battles, but anyone who has read the end of the story (The New Testament) knows who'll win the war. (See Revelation 20) The big losers, Satan his followers, will have all eternity to curse their decision to reject Christ. As a Christian, you'll never be on the losing side. (Questions?
