Revelation 12:11 Revelation 12:11 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. Here is recorded the saints victory over the devil and the dragon, and all their enemies; first, by the blood of the lamb; that is, by the power and efficacy of the sufferings and death of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the virtual application of his precious blood. Secondly, by the word of their testimony, which did convince many adversaries, convert some sinners, and did strengthen the faith and courage of very many weak Christians, as the best historians do testify. And they loved not their lives unto the death. They esteemed nothing too much, too great, or too good to lose for Christ; they took the spoiling of their goods joyfully; they being tortured, would not accept deliverance, hoping for a better resurrection, as those primitive believers did. \ They were willing to lose all, forsake all, and deny all estates, liberties, relations, and lives, for Christ and the gospel, the Christian and protestant religion, and for the true worship of God, and ordinances of Jesus Christ.
