HE THAT OVERCOMETH.

“To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.” Rev. 2:7. Here is their resting-place from the storms of life. Their trials are past, and they are now with the redeemed throng, no death will reach that band of white-robed victors. For, says the Prince of Peace, “He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.” Rev. 2:11. Life immortal will there span the untold ages of eternity, rolling on in the sublime cycles of endless glory. Oh! how sweet to live forever, and partake of life’s immortal fruit and die no more, for we shall not be hurt of the second death. Then will be the day of joy and triumph, for, says Jesus, “He that overcometh, and keepeth my word unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations.” Rev. 2:26–28. “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me on my throne, even as I also overcame and am set down with my Father on his throne.” Rev. 3:21. “He that overcometh shall inherit all things.” Rev. 21:7. “He that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God.” Rev. 3:12. “He that overcometh shall be clothed in white raiment, and I will not blot his name out of the book of life.” Rev. 3:5. May we gain the victory, overcome the world, share the glory, wear the crown, wave the palm, and reign forever with the Lamb.—Sel.
