ALL habitual sinners (not just unbelievers) will be cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 21:8).

ALL who take the mark of the beast will be cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 14:9-11).

“Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of (eternal) life.” (Revelation 2:10).
This is just one of the traits of the overcomer.

“He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death (eternal death).” (Revelation 2:11).

So, who is winning the battle in your spiritual life?
The word of God + His still small voice
… OR …
Satan + Your flesh + your church + videos, books, etc.

It does NOT seem to be a fair fight.
That’s why it is so tough to be an overcomer!

Jesus says you must overcome like He overcame
To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne,
as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.” (Revelation 3:21)

Jesus overcame sin, the world, Satan, persecution, etc.

The opposite of being an overcomer is being a habitual sinner
“He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.
BUT the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers,
idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone,
which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:7-8)

This applies to ALL habitual sinners!
Please note that unbelievers are a category of their own!
Believers who are cowardly (e.g. don’t endure persecution, take the mark of the beast, etc.),
and habitual sinners (as in the list) … shall have their part in the lake of fire!


One of the critical ways to be an overcomer
A personal relationship with the Father and the Son is necessary:
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish” (John 10:27-28)
“And
this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God,
and Jesus Christ
whom You have sent.” (John 17:3)
