He That Overcometh
In Revelation chapter (1:9-11) I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. (10) I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a voice as of a trumpet, (11) Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
Skipping down to verse (18) I am he that lievth, and was dead; and, behold I am alive for evermore,
A-men’; and have the keys of hell and of death.
There was a message that John was to give to each of these churches, but we are going to focus on one phrase that is after each instruction to the churches.
“He That Overcometh”
Ephesus: He That Overcometh I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the mist of the paradise of God
Smyrna: He That Overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death
Pergamos: He That Overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden mana, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
Thyatira: He That Overcometh and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And HE SHALL RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON; AS THE VESSELS OF A POTTER SHALL THEY BE BROKEN TO SHILVERS: even as I received of my Father. And I will give him the morning star.
Sardis: He That Overcometh the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before His angels.
Philadelphia: He That Overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
Laodiceans: He That Overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame and set down with my Father in his throne.
Therefore, since these scripture say that we must overcome does that mean that we can lose salvation, no?
These are rewards for believing Jesus and receiving him as savior.
Therefore, who overcomes, lets read what John said in 1 John 5:4-5
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
