Revelation 2:11: He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.
Jesus and His Word
“The second death.” Dwight L. Moody put it like this: “He who is born once will die twice; he who is born twice will die once.” And if the Rapture occurs during his lifetime, he won’t even have to die that one time. The “second death” is the death which no believer will experience. The first death concerns the body. The second death concerns the soul and the spirit; it is eternal separation from God. No believer will have to undergo that. 1
Jesus and His Ways
- Jesus, thank You for overcoming sin and death, and for making me an overcomer in Your millennium kingdom. – “Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.” Revelation 20:6
- Jesus, thank You for overcoming sin and death, and for making me an overcomer at the rapture of Your church. – “Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.” 1 Thessalonians 4:17
- Jesus, thank You for overcoming sin and death, and for making me an overcomer through the daily battles of the Christian life. – “But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:57
