The Fearful and the Unbelieving

" To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame and am set down with my Father in his throne." ( Revelation 3:21 )..." For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin." ( Hebrews 4: 15 ) Many of us have overcome terminal illnesses, drugs, alcohol, domestic violence, depression, obesity, credit woes and economic distress. While these are all worthwhile accomplishments, they mean nothing if we have not overcome sin. Jesus Christ was tempted with everything that we are being tempted with today, yet he overcame the temptation and never sinned. He expects us to do the same. We will all die of something one day. However, we can not die in sin and expect to spend eternity with the Lord. Remember, " He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimestone: which is the second death....And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie; but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life." (Revelation 21: 7-8, 27)
