He Who Overcomes

Revelation 21:7 - The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son.

2 Samuel 7:14-15 - I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. When he commits iniquity, I will discipline him with the rod of men, with the stripes of the sons of men, but my steadfast love will not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before you.

2 Corinthians 6:16 - What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, “I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Romans 8:14 - For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

Revelation 2:7 - He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.’

Application:

·         There is a special relationship God promises to maintain with the descendant of David whom He will establish on David’s throne. In Jesus Christ this promise comes to ultimate fulfillment.
·         Temple of the living God is built of living stones, including me; therefore it is all the more important that I form no defiling and unholy alliances.
·         I have become a child of God through faith in God’s unique Son, and being led by God’s Spirit should be the hallmark of this relationship.
·         If I can overcome, I will be restored to the perfect fellowship that existed before sin entered the world.
