Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Bob Wilkin and Philippe Sterling are talking about sanctification, grace and faith. Justification is by faith alone apart from works. But what about sanctification?

Are All Believers Overcomers?

May 20, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Overcomers, Revelation 2 & 3

Recently I wrote a blog on Rev 3:5 and the question of whether non-overcoming believers will be blotted out of the Book of Life. See here. I received this excellent question about that blog from John: I’m going to add in red what I think Rev 3:5 means: He who overcomes shall be clothed in

The Overcomer Won’t Be Hurt by the Second Death (Revelation 2:11)

October 31, 2019 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - hurt by the second death, Litotes, Overcomers, Revelation 2:11, understatement

I recently wrote a blog on the NT concept of overcomers (see here). That blog led to this question: The problem with this logic is that Revelation 2:11 does not make sense if only victorious Christians are overcomers. I need you to address this verse specifically: “‘He who has an ear, let him hear what

The Overcomers

Here is a hot question from my inbox: I enjoy reading your blogs. I need a little clarification on a statement you made in the penultimate paragraph of this post.

One person strongly disagreed and commented in response that “rewards are for time, 1000 years, not eternity.” Someone else responded to that comment with this question: “Where does the Bible tell us that rewards are just for a short time? It is

Is Overcoming in Revelation 2-3 a Synonym for Believing in Christ?

May 1, 2018 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Believers, Overcomers

I wrote a book review in January of 2016 of a book which took a different view of the three outer darkness passages in Matthew than Zane Hodges and I had done. But the book covered much more than those three passages. Among other things, the authors argued that overcoming in Revelation 2-3 is another
