VERSES TO REMEMBER
Rev 1115 And the seventh angel sounded and
there were great voices in heaven, saying, The
kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of
our Lord, and of his Christ and he shall reign
for ever and ever.
Rev 1714 These shall make war with the Lamb,
and the Lamb shall overcome them for he is Lord
of lords, and King of kings and they that are
with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
Rev 1211 And they overcame him by the blood of
the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony and
they loved not their lives unto the death.
Rev 217 He that overcometh shall inherit all
things and I will be his God, and he shall be my
son.
