These Are The Overcomers - Grace thru faith The overcomers were those who stayed true to the unadulterated Gospel and lived by faith in its promises They received the Bread of Life, and a token that would commend them to the Father in the name of the Son Overcomers In Thyatira Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess
Who Are The Overcomers? - Grace thru faith The Greek word means to conquer or come off victorious The only way we can overcome this world in general and all of its specific trials, such as those listed in the seven letters, is through the power of the Holy Spirit invested in us at the moment we believed that Jesus is the Son of God In other words, it’s our faith that makes us
Victorious Faith Vs. Overcomers Faith – Grace thru faith A There is no difference between victorious faith and the faith of overcomers, and no form of the word overcome appears in Hebrews 11 The notion that overcomers are somehow superior to other believers is a man-made one It’s used by some to distinguish between believers who by their behavior have earned the right to be the Bride of Christ and those who haven’t because they’ve failed to

Over Comers And The Rapture - Grace thru faith A This is just another take on the old “partial rapture” theory and cannot be supported Biblically It’s clear that we’re saved by grace through faith, not by our works, and being saved qualifies us for the rapture Each of the seven letters to seven Churches (Rev 2 3) warns against some departure from the simplicity of the Gospel and its promise of eternal life, and promises
Who Are The Overcomers Of Rev. 3:5? - Grace thru faith A There’s an idea floating around the Church that the “overcomers” are some elite class of Christian for whom the rewards promised in the Bible are reserved exclusively The rest of us will escape punishment but won’t receive any rewards But the term is used in each of the 7 letters of Rev 2-3 to identify those who resist the criticism being emphasized in the letter At Ephesus, they
Revelation 2-3 … 7 Letters To 7 Churches, Part 1 - Grace thru faith According to Revelation 1:11, the book was written to seven congregations in Asia, modern Turkey For 2,000 years scholars have wondered why such an important message would be sent to these churches since they weren’t even the most important of their day, let alone now
