KEYS TO THE TEXT

Overcome: This term means to overpower or triumph. The noun form, overcomer, comes from a Greek word meaning “to conquer,” “to have victory,” “to have superiority,” or “conquering power.” John clearly defines who these overcomers are: all who believe that Jesus is God’s Son. The words convey a genuine superiority that leads to overwhelming success. The victory is demonstrable; it involves overthrowing an enemy so that the victory is seen by all. Jesus used this word to describe Himself (John 16:33). Because of believers’ union with Christ, they, too, partake in His victory (Rom. 8:37; 2 Cor. 2:14). The word overcome in the original language communicates the truth that the believer has continual victory over the world.
