The book of Revelation to some people is alarming, confusing intimidating and even fictional. But actually, it is a book that all Christians should read, study, and know, because it is a book, which unveils and reveals future events of Jesus Christ at His return to establish His kingdom, which will be forever. But before the unveiling begins, Jesus addresses His church. He does so by speaking to seven churches that were in Asia about lovelessness, persecution, compromising, corruption, deadness, faithfulness and halfheartedness. So being a Christian is not easy. There are many things that can pull us away from our relationship with the Lord. Jesus addressed each situation by naming it and then giving direction on how to fix things. And then He gave promises to those who overcome these things, which try to pull us away from our relationship with Him. He says, “To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God,” “He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.”; “He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, … I will confess his name before My Father and before is angels.”; “He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God,… I will write on him the name of My God…”; “ To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne,…”
So listen folks, no matter how hard it may get , Jesus is there to help you overcome and promises you that it is all worth it!
