In the context of Revelation, overcoming is a recurring theme (Revelation 2-3) and is associated with remaining faithful to Christ despite trials and persecution. The term "overcomes" is derived from the Greek word "nikao," which means to conquer or prevail. This reflects the spiritual battle believers face against sin, the world, and Satan. The idea of overcoming is also linked to the promises given to the seven churches in Revelation, where each church is encouraged to overcome specific challenges. will inherit all things and I will be his God and he will be My son Persons / Places / Events 1. The OvercomerThis refers to believers who remain faithful to Christ, overcoming trials and temptations through their faith. 2.

Teaching Points Perseverance in FaithBelievers are called to remain steadfast in their faith, trusting in God's promises despite trials. Identity in Christ Understanding our identity as God's children can transform how we live, knowing we are loved and valued by Him. Eternal Perspective Focusing on the eternal inheritance helps believers prioritize spiritual over temporal matters. Victory through Christ Overcoming is possible through the power and victory of Jesus, not by our strength alone. Intimacy with God The promise of God being our Father invites us into a deep, personal relationship with Him.(7) He that overcometh shall inherit all things . . .--Rather, He that conquereth shall inherit these things; and I will be to him God, and he shall be to me a son. The general promise of Revelation 21:3 is in part repeated, and this time more individually. Again we catch, as it were, the echo of the promises to the Seven Churches, the blessing is for him that conquereth. The idea of the war and the conquest is a favourite one with St. John. (John 16:33, and 1John 2:13-14; 1John 5:4-5; see also Note on Revelation 2:7.) The source and weapon of victory have been before stated: the blood of the Lamb, the word of their testimony (Revelation 12:11), and the victory of faith (1John 5:4). . . . Verse 7. - He that overcometh shall inherit all things. The correct reading makes the sense plain: He that overcometh shall inherit these things, i.e. the promises just enumerated. These words show the reason for the words of ver. 6; and may be called the text on which the Apocalypse is based (cf. Revelation 2.); for, though the words themselves do not often recur, yet the spirit of them is constantly appearing (cf. Revelation 12:11; see also John 16:33). And I will be his God, and he shall be my son (cf. Leviticus 26:12, "And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people"). Some have thought that these words prove the Speaker to be God the Father; but it is impossible to separate the Persons of the Blessed Trinity in these chapters. This promise, first made to David concerning Solomon (2 Samuel 7:14), received its mystical fulfilment in Christ (Hebrews 1:5), and is now fulfilled in the members of Christ (Alford).
