HE WHO OVERCOMES
WILL...
Revelation 2:7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him
who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is
in the paradise of God.
Revelation 2:10 Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you the devil
will put some of you in prison to test you and you will suffer persecution for
ten days. Be faithful even to the point of death and I will give you the crown
of life.
Revelation 2:11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the spirit says to the
churches. He who overcomes will not be hurt by the second death.
Revelation 2:17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the spirit says to the
churches. 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 2:26-27 To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give
authority over the nations - He will rule them with an iron scepter; he will
dash time to pieces like pottery’- just as I received authority. I will also
give them the morning star.
Revelation 3:4-5 You have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes. They will walk with me, dressed in white, for
they are worthy. He who overcomes will, like them, 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 3:10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently
I will also keep you
from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those
who live on the earth.
Revelation 3:12 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, the new Jerusalem,
which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my
new name.
Revelation 3:21 To him who
overcomes I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame
and sat down with my Father on his throne.
Revelation 22:14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they
may have the right to the tree of life
and may go through the gates into the city.
These verses repeat the
phrase “He who overcomes.” So who is
an overcomer? The good news is that to be an overcomer means to be a Christian.
All "born again" Christians are overcomers! This is clear in 1 John 5:4 which says “For
whoever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has
overcome the world – our faith.
So if we have surrendered our life to Christ and are born again Christians we are overcomers and will
inherit all the promises that follow this phrase – to he who overcomes.
- I will give the right to eat from the tree of life,
which is in the paradise of God.
- I will give you the crown of life
- He will not be hurt by the second death.
- 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.
- I will give authority over the nations… I will
also give them the morning star.
- He 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.
- I will also keep you from the hour of trial that
is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth.
- I will write on him the name of my God and the
name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of
heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new name.
- I will give the right to sit with me on my
throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne
- He will have the right to the tree of life and
may go through the gates into the city.
