REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Eight - Striving to Be Conquerors -Conclusion

 Nevertheless, the Christians in Smyrna should not be afraid or compromise.  If they remain faithful to the end, there is laid up for them as a reward  "the crown of life," in their case immortal  life in the heavens.  (1 Corinthians 9L25; 2 Timothy 4:6-8) The apostle Paul viewed this  precious prize as worth the sacrifice  of everything else, even his earthly life.  (Philippians  3:8)  Evidently, those faithful ones in Smyrna feel the same way. Jesus concludes his message by saying: "Let the one who has ear hear what the spirit says to the congregation: He that conquers will by no means be harmed by death." (Revelation 2:11) The conquerors are assured of immortal heavenly life that cannot be touched by death. - 1 CORINTHIANS 15:52, 54.
