To him who
overcomes . . . Revelation 2:7
The pathway to heaven is not one of complete ease. There are . . .
trials to be endured,
difficulties to be surmounted,
temptations to be resisted,
and enemies to be encountered!
The Christian is called . . .
to endure hardness as a good soldier.
to put on the whole armour of God,
and to fight the fight of faith.
To stimulate and cheer him in the conflict, many encouraging assurances are
given—especially made to those who press forward through all difficulties and
in the strength of Christ overcome all their spiritual foes:
"To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree
of life, which is in the paradise of God!" Revelation 2:7
"He who overcomes will not be hurt at all by the second
death!" Revelation
2:11
"To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will
also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him
who receives it!" Revelation
2:17
"He who overcomes will be dressed in white. I will never blot out
his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before My Father
and His angels!" Revelation 3:5
"Him who overcomes—I will make a pillar in the temple of my God.
Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of My God and the
name of the city of My God; and I will also write on him My new name!" Revelation 3:12
"To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with Me on My
throne!" Revelation
3:21
"He who overcomes will inherit all this—and I will be his God and
he will be my son!" Revelation 21:7
O Lord, be my strength, give me courage, endurance, and fortitude!
Increase my faith—that I may overcome the ways of the world, the flesh and the devil and
at last come off more than conqueror through Him who has loved me!
