The Call to Overcome
Commentators consistently link the "overcomer" to the promises made to the seven churches in Revelation 2-3. This isn't about personal strength but about persevering faith. Scholars explain that overcoming means conquering spiritual enemies—sin, the world, and Satan—through the power of "the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony" (Rev. 12:11). It is a call to remain loyal to Christ through all trials.
