From the moment sin entered the world in the Garden of Eden, there have been spiritual forces at work against God and His people. In fact, Jesus promised that, “Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows” (John 16:33). These trials, struggles, persecution and sorrows do not surprise God. The pages of the Old and New Testaments are full of God’s people trying to persevere when the enemy was aggressively or subtly attacking them. They also persevered through hard situations and in cultures that actively opposed them and their faith. The same is true for us today. While the book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ unveils the long-standing, still-progressing war in heaven and on earth—between God and Satan—it also unveils who will win. The victor is Jesus, the ultimate Overcomer and our eternal hope.To overcome is to faithfully follow Jesus, the ultimate Overcomer, until the end of our earthly lives.
