Whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?” (1 John 5:4–5)
YOU*, child of God, believer in Jesus Christ, you who have received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, YOU ARE AN OVERCOMER!
We (Christians) are overcomers. We are victors. We are winners.
Jesus Christ said of Himself: “I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)
We are overcomers through our faith, through having the righteousness of Christ, by being in Christ, since the Holy Spirit dwells in us.
And, through our faith, we also are overcomers in life as well. (Yes, we sin, but less as we grow in the Lord. And we know when we confess, God is faithful to forgive us our sins.)
AND! We will be an overcomer until death or Jesus returns. Why?
Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy … (Jude 24)
Overcomers receive rewards!
To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God. (Revelation 2:7)
He who overcomes will not be hurt by the second death. (Revelation 2:11)
To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it. (Revelation 2:17)
He who overcomes, and he who keeps My deeds until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations; and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are broken to pieces, as I also have received authority from My Father; and I will give him the morning star. (Revelation 2:26–28)
He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. (Revelation 3:5)
He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My new name. (Revelation 3:12)
He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. (Revelation 3:21)
Rejoice!
We will be in the presence of God blameless with great joy! And with all the promised rewards! This is beyond comprehension. Thrilling!
Don’t forget! Live in the certainty of what will happen for overcomers!
God guarantees! Praise Almighty God!
