Dictionary of Biblical Words
:
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
.
