“They overcame [the dragon] 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
No
one can overcome a spiritual adversary unless they embrace the
Cross. The ones who overcome the dragon do so by the blood of the Lamb
and by not loving their own lives. Their testimony is: “not I, but
Christ.” The blood, and loving not their life, and their testimony, all
point to the same thing: these are people of the Cross. They did not
love their own lives, but they gave up their lives; therefore God has
raised them from the dead and they have entered into the victory of
Christ.
You cannot
kill a dead
man. You cannot defeat a person who has already died. What more can you
do to a man once he has died and been raised to life again?
