THE OVERCOMERS
“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb
and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to
the death.” -REVELATION 12:11
It is helpful to identify the
three enemies that present themselves to us, and then the above verse
will make even more sense. The overcomer must learn how to defeat each
one. So what are they?
First, there is the enemy of Sin. Second,
the enemy of Self. Third, the enemy of Satan. All contrary things,
whether they be of spiritual, natural, or human origin, find their root
in one of these three sources.
The glorious thing, of course, is
that God’s provision meets all three enemies and defeats them in order
to demonstrate the preeminence of Christ. This, in essence, is what it
means to overcome. It is to demonstrate the preeminence of Christ over
all things.
