They overcame

"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death" (Revelation 12:11 NKJV). Sin is when one is bitten by the old serpent himself, Satan. The results of being bitten is death. Satan bit man long ago in the Garden of Eden, and from that time on man has greatly battled the venom of sin. Man has enticed it and played with it, only to allow it to run freely through them without knowing it would only cause death, just like those snake charmers who play with venomous snakes. They see how close they can get to that venomous creature without getting bitten. Man doesn't realize they have already been bitten, and the venom of sin is running through them. Sin has its own attraction. It will make itself look beautiful, desirable, and make the body feel good. However, behind it is the most deadliest bite ever. This bite of sin has killed more humans than anything else on this earth. Sin rages on, but 2000 years ago One came to this earth that was immune to this serpent's bite. He came to save the human race from death. Jesus Christ,the Holy One, willfully allowed the serpent to bite Him with all the sins of the world in His death. His blood became an antidote for all who come to Him. Those who receive this antidote, the blood of Christ, shall live. The blood of Jesus is the cure, the only cure, from this venomous bite called sin. God bless you. Amen
