You've probably heard Tertullian's famous quote, "The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church."
What it means is that Satan cannot defeat the church through murder. But since he was a murderer from the beginning, he likes to kill you and wants nothing more than to destroy your life.
Martyrdom can be called a forced win. A forced win is a situation in a game where one player has a sequence of moves that guarantees victory no matter how the opponent responds. They have a path of victory that the opponent cannot break. They cannot overcome it. Martyrdom is a forced win. No matter what the devil does, he has already lost. When the believer gives his life for Christ, the enemy has no counter move left. A forced win for the gospel.
