Hebraic
Musing – Are You Simply a
Christian? Or Are You an Overcomer?
"Right and wrong" - truth and righteousness - do
not matter to any other species on Earth except us humans, because the ability
to choose is for decision making – RIGHT(eousness) vs WRONG. This is an
important matter for us because we will be judged and our place in eternity
determined because we are made in God's Image. We don’t want to rely on the counterfeit “social
justice” being demanded by the “world.” We want the personal responsibility required
biblically.
Unfortunately all too many Christians have been led to
believe that Christianity is just a behavior modification system of morals. No wonder the “world”, and many Christians,
see no difference between Christianity and "the many other paths to
God." People want to believe that
if something FEELS good, then it IS GOOD.
So "we are good" preaching emanates from pulpits motivated by
the fact that to make the mortgage payments, pastors have to avoid offending
the “nickels and noses.”
Thus in the last year especially, a numbness is overtaking
Christianity in America. America’s
leadership is boldly declaring “we do not want or need God.” It is not surprising that God has taken His
righteousness and departing, leaving us with "might makes
right." BLM and ANTIFA supported by
some big businesses and media have become the dominant "might makes
right" force with full support passive media support. No wonder they want to defund police. Police are the only possible opposition to
their extortion racket.
American Christians are COWERING! We wanted and expected own bully called Trump
to do the dirty work of politics while we prayed and complained and prayed some
more. But now that Trump is gone we can
begin to see the irrelevance, cowardice and
persecution of American Christianity being revealed.
Do Christians pay attention to the importance of ALL the “overcomer” verses in the
Bible? Who gets eternal life? Why does the challenge to be an “Overcomer” appears over 30 times
in our Bible!!!
Here are some rewards promised to “he who overcomes”:
Enthronement – Rev. 3:21 “To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my
throne,
just as I overcame and sat down with my Father
on his throne.” NIV
Eternal Inheritance – Rev. 21:7 “He who
overcomes will inherit all
this, I will be his God, he will be my son.”
New Name – Rev. 2:17 “To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna.
I will also give him a white stone with a new
name written on it, known only to him who receives it.”
Authority – Rev. 2:26 “To him who overcomes
and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations“
Robe of Righteousness – Rev. 3:5 “He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never
blot out
his
name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and
his angels.”
Spiritual Food – Rev. 2:7 “To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of
life,
which
is in the paradise of God.”
No Second Death – Rev. 2:11 “He who overcomes will not be hurt at all by the second death.”
And here’s some homework – John 16:33; 1 John 5:4-5;
1 John 2:13
Points
to ponder
Since only the overcomers get an eternal reward, what happens to NON-overcomers?
If a pastor points this out will he
lose “nickels & noses”?
Is God allowing these social pressures,
these Satanic originated challenges,
so that we and HE can see who is overcoming and who is NOT!!!!
The media has taken control of the
narrative. Hmmm…
Jesus was convicted and crucified not by the evidence, but by the world’s
narrative.
“You,
dear children, are from God and have overcome
them,
because the one who is in
you is greater than the one who is in the world.” 1 John 4:4 NIV
