Overcoming
“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” (Revelation 3:21).
We live in a day when, if we do not overcome, we will be overcome. The world, the flesh and the devil are constantly at work to overcome us. While we have been delivered from their power by our Deliverer, we are exhorted to stand firm against the tide of evil flooding the world. We are not only to stand against it but to “overcome evil with good” (Romans 12:21). We are under constant pressure to give up the “good fight of faith” (1 Timothy 6:12). However, the Lord in His Word encourages, “Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown” (Revelation 3:11). He, Himself, overcame and encourages us to do the same. “In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).
Soon with Him in a future day of glory we will enjoy our eternal portion, for we are assured,
“He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be My son” (Revelation 21:7).
