“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God.’” Revelation 2:7 (NASB)
This promise was given by our Lord Jesus through the Apostle John to be recorded and passed on to the Church in Ephesus. Also, to Christians throughout the world. We believe it because it is a promise for us. Jesus knows that life here on this earth is not an easy life. He knows that we face difficulties, discouragements, problems, and even hostilities as we live the Christian life here. Sometime those challenges come in order to test and strengthen our faith. We know that while God allows them to come into our lives, He wants us to overcome these difficulties and offers to help us. He gives us the grace we need to trust His word. Jesus knows that with His help we are able to overcome. That is why He promises a reward for us when we get to heaven. Yes, we have the prospect of eating from the tree of life and we'll keep on doing that forever because that how long we'll be there. If we have ears, let's hear and let's believe the promise and lets rejoice in the power God gives us.
