The overcomer is the one who conquers by faith in Jesus.
Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
John says whatever is born of God overcomes the world, and this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith. Who overcomes except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? The letters to the seven churches promise the one who conquers. The promises differ. The conqueror is the same. They conquer by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony. In the world you will have tribulation. Take heart. He has overcome the world. The overcomer is not a second class of Christian. He is the believer who holds.
