He who overcomes

He who overcomes

"He who overcomes—I will write upon him My new name!" Revelation 3:12

The people of God bear an inscription now—they are "manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God!" And hereafter the Lord Jesus will write His new name upon them, marking them once again and forever as His own redeemed people, His jewels, His peculiar treasure!

What that special name here referred to is—we need not curiously inquire. We may be sure that it is a name that harmonizes well with the precious ones He now bears, and with which we are already familiar, "Immanuel," "Jesus," "Alpha and Omega," "all-in-all."

If it is a name which we have never yet heard—we may feel assured that it will be one that will help us more fully to understand what He is to us —who is the brightness of the Father's glory, the express image of the God of love.

The new name will be written upon every one who overcomes. It will be written upon you, beloved reader—if, renouncing dependence on your own strength, you are strong in the Lord, and victorious over your spiritual enemies through the power of His might!
