Romans 3:3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? 4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. • Salvation is by the grace and mercy of God and not of/by/through works (Ephesians 2:4-10, Titus 3:5-13; Romans 4:5-7; Psalm 51:10). I. Christ has Overcome the World: The very foundation of the Christian faith lies in the assurance that Jesus, the Saviour, has triumphed over all adversity and every adversary. Christ overcame through faithfulness (John 16:33). This passage reminds us that despite the tribulations we face, there's an everlasting peace in and with Jesus. II . Overcome Defined: A Battle of Life and Death The term 'overcome' doesn't just imply victory. Sometimes, it means a battle that could result in death (Revelation 11:7, 13:7, 17:14). These verses remind us of the spiritual warfare that constantly rages around us. The battles are real, but with Christ, the victory is assured. III. Promises/Blessings to Overcomers: God calls us to overcome and promises eternal rewards to those who overcome. In these verses, the Spirit beckons us to listen and comprehend the immeasurable rewards waiting for those who have overcome. These aren't just spiritual victories but promises of eternal rewards and co-reigning with Christ. • (Church of Ephesus) Eat of the tree of life (Revelation 2:7, 22:14). • (Church of Pergamos) Eat of the hidden manna • Give him a white stone (Revelation 2:17) • (Church of Thyatira) Give power over the nations (Revelation 2:26) • (Church in Philadelphia) Make a pillar in the
