"And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death."
Revelation 12:11 Jesus paid our sin debt. He died for our sins and rose again and is still alive and active as the God over all. We must make sure His Blood applies to us. They overcame by the blood of the Lamb AND "the word of their testimony". We don't just accept the cross and Jesus. We must come to the place where we surrender everything to Jesus. God must do it so we have to pray. We must do it so we must ask, seek, and knock. We must read the New Testament, pray, and talk to true Christians, and get rid of sin. We walk and live by the obedience of faith until a door is opened for us to meet Jesus. We meet Him through the convicting work of the Holy Spirit. It is a Divine exchange where we realize we are not in God's family and will go to Hell forever. Jesus holds out His Hand to be our best Friend and Master and God. We either reject and go to Hell, or we submit to Jesus being our Absolute Master and All Loving Best Friend. We say in our hearts, "Jesus from now on I'll do whatever You want me to do". From that moment onward we will have "the word of their testimony" because it will not be us living anymore, but Jesus living IN US and through us. We have been united forever to Jesus. That is Salvation. It is not just doing good works. It is not having a faith in Jesus and the cross. IT IS meeting Jesus through His Holy Spirit and telling Jesus we are His and will do what He wants no matter what. That is repentance and saving faith. We turn from sin and everything, and give ourselves to Jesus. WE MUST HAVE AN ENCOUNTER WITH JESUS WHERE WE SUBMIT TO HIM AND BECOME HIS OR THE CROSS DOES'NT APPLY. We will know if the transaction was real. It's like an atom bomb going off that changes the whole direction of our life. No more us. Everything is about Jesus. Serving Him Loving Him and being Loved by Him and enjoying relationship with Him. Love You! Jesus Loves You! Have a Godly Great Day! Joseph Zeiss
