“They overcame [the dragon] by
the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony;
and they did not love their lives to the death.”
REVELATION 12:11
No
one can
overcome a spiritual adversary unless they embrace the Cross. The ones
who overcome the dragon do so by the blood of the Lamb and by not loving
their own lives. Their testimony is: “not I, but Christ.” The blood,
and loving not their life, and their testimony, all point to the same
thing: these are people of the Cross. They did not love their own lives,
but they gave up their lives; therefore God has raised them from the
dead and they have entered into the victory of
Christ.
You
cannot kill a dead man. You cannot defeat a person who has already
died. What more can you do to a man once he has died and been raised to
life again?
