The Overcomer

"To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the Tree Of Life, which is in the
midst of the Paradise of God" (Revelation 2:7).

No man may turn his back in the day of battle or refuse to go to the holy war.
We must fight if we would reign, and we must carry on the warfare till we
overcome every enemy, or else this promise is not for us, since it is only for
"him that overcometh." We are to overcome the false prophets who have come into
the world and all the evils which accompany their teaching. We are to overcome
our own faintness of heart and tendency to decline from our first love. Read
the whole of the Spirit's word to the church at Ephesus. If by grace we win the
day, as we shall if we truly follow our conquering Leader, then we shall be
admitted to the very center of the paradise of God and shall be permitted to
pass by the cherub and his flaming sword and come to that guarded tree, whereof
if a man eat, he shall live forever. We shall thus escape that endless death
which is the doom of sin and gain that everlasting life which is the seal of
innocence, the outgrowth of immortal principles of Godlike holiness. Come, my
heart, pluck up courage! To flee the conflict will be to lose the joys of the
new and better Eden; to fight unto victory is to walk with God in paradise.

The Love of God to his People. Jer. 31. 3; Ps. 3. 8

1 Salvation! O my soul, rejoice;
Salvation is of God;
He speaks, and that almighty voice
Proclaims his grace abroad.

2 How wonderful, how grand the plan! All Deity's engaged
To rescue rebel, ruined man
From Satan's power and rage.

3 The Father loved us ere we fell,
And will for ever love;
Nor shall the powers of earth or hell His love from Zion move.

4 'Twas love that moved him to ordain A Surety just and good;
And on his heart inscribe the name
Of all for whom he stood.

5 Nor is the Surety short of love;
He loves beyond degree;
No less than love divine could move The Lord to die for me.

6 And O what love the Spirit shows! When Jesus he reveals
To men oppressed with sin and woes, He all their sorrows heals.

7 The Three-in-One and One-in-Three, In love for ever rest;
And Zion shall in glory be,
And with his love be blessed.
