Jesus was speaking to the church, to those who overcome

Jesus said...

To the one that overcomes I will grant the right to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.

The one who overcomes will not be hurt by the second death.

To the one who overcomes He will give some of the hidden manna and a white stone with a new name written on it.

To the one who overcomes and who keeps His works until the end, to him He will give authority over the nations.

The one who overcomes will be clothed thus in white garmets and He will never blot his name out of the book of life.

To the one who overcomes He will make a pillar in the temple of His God.

To the one who overcomes He says He will grant him to sit with Him on His throne.

Jesus was speaking to the church 2000+ years ago and is still speaking to the church today. Will you overcome? Jesus says we will have tribulation but He tells us what we will have if we overcome. He says he who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. Are you listening?

God is not a warm fuzzy god who will allow sin and wickedness to enter heaven. He is holy and just. He can not and will not allow unrepentant sinners and unbelievers into His eternal kingdom. He has sent prophets throughout millenia to warn us about what is to come. His final revelation is a prophetic message to the church, a warning that Jesus will return, and I believe soon, maybe even in my lifetime, and that we all need to be ready. Are you ready?
