Since our study has to do specifically with eternal rewards, we cannot deal with all the points made to each church. We will try to hit the high-points and zero in on the promises to the overcomers.

The Church of Ephesus, Revelation 2:1–7:
- Commendation, vv. 1–3, 6 Faithful in works, labor, patience, and rejection of false teachers
- Rebuke/Correction, vv. 4–5 Departure from first love, called to remember, repent, and return
- Promise to Overcomers, v. 7 To eat of the “tree of life” in the Paradise of God is the equivalent of eternal life, given to all who believe (see Rev. 22:1–2, 14)
Note: In Revelation 22:14, the best rendering is, “Blessed are those who have washed their robes (NASB)
