A word specially used in Rev. 2, 3. to mean the one who is by God’s grace superior to the special temptation or snare of the time. It is plain that none but those who are walking in humble dependence on God, and who are really simply guided by His word alone, can hope to be overcomers. It is beautiful to notice in
Rev. 3:21
21
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. (Revelation 3:21)
, that Christ Himself was the first “overcomer.” The study of the Gospels, therefore, must be of special value to all who in this would be like Him.
