Revelation 3:5 (NASB)
‘He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.
This verse is written to he who overcomes....
Who are these overcomers, what is it they overcame, and when did they overcome... ?
There is only one thing in all of creation that needs to be overcome.
And that is the fall of Adam...
A reversal, a undoing, a overcoming of this fall... A putting to death, that life which Adam brought to life, and a bringing to life, that life that Adam, should have brought to life...
This is the overcoming that is necessary...
It is to this overcomer that Jesus says He will not erase their name.... This is a promise for all eternity, to never erase their name from the book of life, a promise of eternal life, forever....
So...
How and when can it be said that one has overcome Adam’s fall?
It can only be, when one is put in possession of life that is eternal or by being put in possession of that which was signified by the eating of the Tree of Life. Which is being put in possession of the Divine nature, or the Life of Christ, (three ways of describing the same truth).....
So when is one put in possession of life that is eternal..?
It can only be when one is born again, when Jesus comes in to take possession of the life... From that moment forward that person has overcome the fall and from that moment forward they become one who Jesus promises to never, for all eternity, to ever erase their name from the book of life.,,
For they have overcome the fall by the new birth... They have brought to life that which Adam should have brought to life by eating from the Tree of Life, which was taking the Life of Christ, the Divine nature into himself, just as the new birth gives us today..
Be blessed all that are in possession of the new birth for by that you have overcome the fall and become one who Jesus promises never to erase their name from the book of life..
