REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Seven - "To Him That Conquers"

 Finally, as he does also in his other messages, Jesus calls attention to God's spirit as making known through Jesus the rewards for faithfulness.  To the Ephesians he says: "Let the one who has an ear hear  what the spirit says to the congregations: To him that conquers I will grant to eat  of the tree of life which is in the paradise of God." (Revelation 2:7) Those with hearing ears would  be eager to heed that vital message, knowing  that it did not come  on Jesus' initiative  but that it flowed from the Sovereign Lord Jehovah himself through His holy spirit, or active force. How would they 'conquer'? By following closely in the steps of Jesus, who kept integrity to the death and so could say: "Take courage! I have conquered the world" - JOHN 8:28; 16:33; see also 1 JOHN 5:4.
