Michael, the atonement has a corporate aspect (the church) and a individual component. I used to believe that Christ died to take back this world from Satan; but I now find that view erroneous. Even though Satan is the "prince of the power and the air", his dominion is lesser dominion than that of God (one kingdom, not two). While Christ died for His church, that occurs one-by-one as each member of the church is regenerated and comes to faith.
