Listener: In Revelations 2:26, in the message Thyatira, it says to him who overcome and keeps my deeds until the end, I would give authority over the nations. So, he who overcomes, is that all believers? and secondly, who are those in the nations He is giving authority over?

Summary of answer:

Dr Michael Rydelnik believes that all believers, followers of Jesus, are overcomers. The Church will have authority over the nations, which nations? We are going to rule with the Lord Jesus one day and He will assign us which nations that we will be ruling over in the Messianic Kingdom.

In Need of a New Heart by J.C.Ryle

Life is the mightiest of all possessions. From death to life is the mightiest of all changes. And no change short of this will ever avail to fit a person’s soul for heaven.

It is not a little mending and alteration – a little cleansing and purifying – a little painting and patching – a little whitewashing and varnishing – a little turning over a new leaf and putting on a new outside that is needed. It is the bringing in of something altogether new – the planting within us of a new nature, a new being – a new principle – a new mind. This alone, and nothing less than this, will ever meet the necessities of person’s soul. We need not merely a new skin, but a new heart.

My question is: The punishment for sin is eternal separation from God. Jesus paid everyone's punishment on the cross. How did Jesus paid everyone's punishment in 3 hours?

Summary of Answer:

Mike Fabarez gave an example. If someone slap another person in the face, the severity of the punishment would increase with who the other person is. For example, the consequence of slapping a president of a nation versus slapping a commoner would definitely be more severe. Inversely, Jesus Christ, who is God of the universe, is a very important person and He was punished. As a result, His punishment was able to be dispensed as a payment, for all the normal people in the world.
