”Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” | 2 Peter 1: 4
In the letters to the seven churches in Revelation 2 & 3 the Lord gives us some exceeding great and precious promises for us to enjoy right now and to enjoy for eternity.
Revelation 2: 7; “To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.”
Revelation 2: 11; “He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
Revelation 2: 17; “To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
Revelation 2: 26-28; “And 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 shivers: even as I received of my Father. And I will give him the morning star.
Revelation 3: 5; “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.
Revelation 3: 12; “Him 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.
Revelation 3: 21; “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.”
How do we overcome the power of the devil and the evil of our sin against God; only by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ? Revelation 12: 11; “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”
How do we overcome the evil of our sinfulness and unbelief in this life?
By faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; 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 believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
Thanks be unto God for the victory we have in Christ! (Romans 8: 37-39; 1 Corinthians 15: 57)
