Lou,
Yes, I must agree with you about the overcoming part. You must be an overcomer to have rights to anything pertaining to this city. That is where crucifying the old an comes in. We have to overcome sin, the works of the flesh, which is explained in the book of Galtians chapter 5. We must be led of the Spirit and not of the flesh. For we will reap what we have sown. If we have sown to the flesh we will reap corruption, but if we have sown to the Spiti we will reap life everlasting. The beautiful crown of eternal LIFE. One's worst enemy on this journey to this city is one's self. Our will has to die. We have to seek the will of God. God is love and he that loveth is born of God. If we love we will not be trangressing his laws. We will not break his commandments. We will abide in the word and the word will abide in us. Revelations tells us that they overcame by the word of their testimony & by the blood of the Lamb. Jesus is that LAMB, the lamb that was slain for our sins. He died so that we could have that crown of life that you are speaking about. He gave his life freely. Now we must give our lives freely when we come under submission to the SPIRIT and not to the will of the flesh.
