TO HIM WHO OVERCOMES / REVELATION 2:7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 2:7

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

TO HIM WHO OVERCOMES / REVELATION 2:7

An overcomer (Greek nikon) is one who has responded to God’s grace (His undeserved favor, love and spiritual enablement) through faith in Christ, has accepted God’s forgiveness and has entered a personal relationship with Him. But more than that, an overcomer continues to rely on God’s grace and to show true faith by remaining passionately devoted to Christ. The overcomer lives in consistent victory over sin, Satan and the corrupt world system.

  1. Even when surrounded by strong opposition and rebellion against God and His people, overcomers refuse to conform to worldly patterns of belief and behavior. They also firmly resist any ungodly tendencies among people within the church (Revelation 2:24). By hearing and responding with obedience to what the Spirit says to the churches, overcomers remain faithful to Christ to the very end (Revelation 2:26). Overcomers accept only God’s standard of living as revealed in His Word (Revelation 3:8). 
  2. Christ promises several things to the overcomers – and only the overcomers – in His churches. They will eat of the tree of life in God’s paradise; they will not be hurt by the second death (Revelation 2:11; a spiritual death, which is permanent separation from God). Overcomers will be given a new name in heaven and receive hidden manna (Revelation 2:17; heavenly “food”; Psalms 78:24); they will be given authority over the nations (Revelation 2:26); and they will not have their names removed from the book of life but will be honored by Christ in the presence of His Father and the angels (Revelation 3:5). They will remain with God in His temple and be identified with the name of God, Christ and the new Jerusalem (Revelation 3:12). Overcomers will reign with Christ (Revelation 3:21) and will forever be God’s children (Revelation 21:7).
  3. The secret of victory for overcomers is Christ’s sacrificial death for their sins (Romans 6:2-11), their own faithful testimony about Jesus and their persistent love for Christ, even to death (Revelation 12:11; 1 John 5:4). Note that we either overcome sin, the world and Satan, or we are overcome by them and are ultimately thrown into the lake of fire (Revelation 2:11; Revelation 3:5; Revelation 20:15; Revelation 21:8). There is no middle ground or in-between group.
