The Blessing of the Overcomers

What do the overcomers (the ones who defy gravity) of this world get according to Scripture?

a. Revelation 2:7:

i. 7He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.

b. Revelation 2:11

i. 11He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not be hurt at all by the second death.

c. Revelation 2:17

i. 17He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. 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.

d. Revelation 2:26

i. 26To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations—

e. Revelation 3:5

i. 5He 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.

f. Revelation 3:12

i. 12Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new name.

g. Revelation 3:21

i. 21To 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.

h. Revelation 21:7

i. 7He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son.
