Summary

The speaker urges believers to obey God's commandments because they are for our eternal good, comparing obedience to following a doctor's prescription for a cure. He emphasizes that the promise of sitting with Christ on the throne is an individual achievement, requiring personal struggle and overcoming sin, unlike an honorary award. True discipleship requires actively fighting battles against sin, as Jesus's own victory was an example for us to follow.

Are God's commandments for our good?Believers should long to keep God's commandments because every single one is given entirely for our eternal and earthly good, just as a patient eagerly follows a doctor's proven prescription.

The promise to those who overcomeJesus promises that anyone who overcomes as He overcame will sit with Him on His throne, presenting the ultimate eternal honor.Revelation 3:21

Following scripture without compromiseTrue obedience requires rejecting human traditions like calling men pastors or taking church offerings, and instead following the exact pattern found in New Testament scripture.

An individual responsibilityOvercoming is an individual responsibility entrusted to every believer in all churches, calling each person to heed what the Spirit says.

Drinking the cup of sufferingWhen James and John asked for seats of honor, Jesus pointed instead to the baptism of suffering and the need to overcome just as He overcame.

An earned victory, not an honorary oneTo overcome means Jesus fought a real battle against temptation; He did not receive an honorary victory simply because He was God, but truly had to struggle against sin.

Following our Captain into battleA good military leader goes first, and Jesus faced every battle against temptation as our forerunner so we could follow in His footsteps.

Returning to the throne through daily perseveranceAlthough He existed with the Father from all eternity, Jesus had to overcome every single day for thirty-three and a half years as a man to return to that throne.

Worshipping the biblical JesusBelievers must reject the false idea of a Jesus who floated through life without a struggle, and instead worship the biblical Jesus who fought the battle and gives us tremendous hope.
