The book of Revelation
contains
visions
of the
end
times, dire warnings
and describes the triumphant return
of Jesus Christ. It also describes the rewards
in store for us in heaven if
we
overcome (nikao)
and get the victory.

"To the angel of
the church in
Laodicea
write: These are the
words of the Amen, the faithful
and true witness, the ruler
of God's creation.
I know your
deeds, that you
are neither cold nor hot. I wish
you were either one or the other!
So, because you
are lukewarm-- neither hot nor cold-- I am about
to spit you out of my mouth.
You say, 'I am
rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.'
But you do not realize that you
are wretched, pitiful, poor,
blind and naked.
I counsel you
to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can
become rich; and white clothes
to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to
put on your eyes, so you can see.
Those whom I
love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and repent.
Here I am! I
stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice
and opens the door, I will come in
and eat with him, and he with me.
To him who
overcomes
(nikao),
I will give
the right to sit with me
on my throne, just as I overcame
and sat down with my Father
on his
throne.
He who has an
ear, let him hear
what the Spirit says to the churches."
Revelation
3:14-22

Laodicea
He who has
an ear, let him hear
what the Spirit says to the churches.
To him who overcomes (nikao),
I will give the right to sit with me on
my
throne, just as
I overcame and sat
down with my Father on his
throne.

He who overcomes
(nikao)
will inherit all this,
and I will
be his God
and he will be my son
Revelation
21:6-7
I am the Alpha and the Omega,
the First
and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
"Blessed are those who wash their robes,
that they may have the right to the tree of life
and may go through the gates into the city.
Outside are the dogs, those who practice
magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers,
the idolaters and everyone who loves
and practices falsehood.

In this world you will have

and do
not be afraid.
