Are you an overcomer?

It is sad that today so many of the doctrines of the various denominations are so defeatist in nature. If you live by them you will be a failure in life. God does not call people to be failures. He calls them to be OVERCOMERS!

Revelation 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

This is a poor translation of the verb "overcome". This is a present tense verb which means you are seeing the overcoming as it is happening. The translation should be "He that is overcoming..." --- that means here and now. If you are overcoming then you will be a son of God.

What is it that we overcome? Satan, sin and self. Overcomers do not succumb to the temptations of Satan. Overcomers do not sin. Overcomers do not yield to the pleasures of the flesh.

Overcoming is all about victory in life! Overcoming is all about winning. Overcoming is all about being a son of God just like Jesus.

This is the victory that overcomes the word...even our FAITH......

Some of what you say disregards many scriptures that gives balance to your view......just saying!

If you have placed faith in Jesus Christ and are born-again, that is a simultaneous act, then you are an overcomer. (1 John 5:4-5) ".... Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?"

Your walk of faith is going to be up and down. Victory and defeats. Neither of which take away from your being an overcomer by your faith in Christ.

God is not out for your success before the world. He doesn't mind if you are viewed as a failure. God doesn't require us to be successful. He only requires us to be faithful.

Overcomers do not sin?
True that JESUS gave HIS life and bridged the gap that we could not reach In our own strength because of the weakness of our flesh but we do still sin In this world In our fleshly bodies.

It was our spirits that were made perfect and when JESUS comes back again we will be like HIM but right now we are still In our unchanged bodies.

Remember the Issue now Is faith,not sin.

You mean believers are NOT supposed to be overcomers?

You missed my point that overcoming in an on-going process. It is not just a title. If you are overcomer then you are overcoming constantly and victorious in life. Then, back to my point, today's doctrines of traditional churches are defeatist in nature. Following them will make you a loser, not a winner.

Believers HAVE overcome the world. That is what scripture says, Do you not believe this?

Maybe you should focus on what it meant to have faith. And not on how good you are.. maybe then you will see

Yep. It is you who think you must do the work of overcoming, Not you allowing God to work in you.

God says we have overcome (are victorius) and not in the process of overcoming. why don’t you believe him?

Thanks for showing us the root of your issue.

Again, overcoming is not a title. It is not a past event. It is not something you have when you say "I believe". It is an on-going process that starts when you become a disciple and on your way to becoming a son of God.

You need to check out the verb tenses of the Greek word that means "to overcome".
