God wanted a confrontation between Satan and his son, Christ Jesus. By Jesus permitting himself to be killed without submitting to Satan, he in fact conquered Satan. The Almighty God, the Father, resurrected Jesus and because of this killing, a ransom was now provided for all men while Satan knew he had lost and stood to be killed eventually. Death in this case was like any war. People die in wars; however, those who die for God get to live again.
