What does the word overcomer mean? It is synonymous with conqueror; victor; champion; or winner.
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? (1 Joh 5:4-5)
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. (Rom 8:37)
The verses above imply a battle, a war, or a competition of some kind. But where is the battleground and over what do we fight? The Bible teaches us that the world is the battleground. The battle is for the souls of men, women, and children.
On a day to day basis, overcomers are followers of Christ who hold fast to faith in Christ under all circumstances. Whether their challenge is financial, physical, mental, or emotional, the believer trusts in God and in His Word. He/she will find Scripture verses that address the trial that they’re facing and such verses will cause their faith to grow stronger and firmer.
God doesn’t leave us defenseless in this world. He has given us the armor of God to equip us in battle. (See Eph 6:11-17) This armor is available to all believers.
We come through trials by the power of the Holy Spirit, and by perseverance in faith.
For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end . . . (Heb 3:14) Steadfast means constant, stalwart, and unwavering.
Hold on firmly and resolutely to your faith in Jesus Christ. He will not fail you. You ARE an overcomer!
