Bible Question: In Revelation in each of the letters to the churches He tells them they must be overcomers to eat from the tree of life, not be hurt by the second death, give hidden manna and a white stone with a new name written on it, give authority over nations, be dressed in white andnver have their name blotted out of the book of life,make a piller in the temple and the right to sit with Jesus on His throne, but what are they to overcome? We will not be made perfect until they day of Christ Jesus, and will sin, so exactly what to we need to overcome, as it reads to me that if we do not, we will not be with Him in heaven? |
Bible Answer: Shalom docandlinda2, I'm going to give you my understanding of the word "overcomer," which is very simple. Faithful. To those who remain faithful to His calling, His statutes and commandments. Overcomers are those who weighed the cost of serving Him, who picked up their cross and obediently followed until they died (or who will be caught up with Him at a future date). Cheri |
