What does it look like to overcome?
According to Revelation 2-3, overcoming is faith in Christ and hope in what is to come giving birth to self control and discipline to resist temptation, sin, worldliness and compromise. Overcoming is remembering our first love and remaining in this love even in the midst of persecution and trial. Overcoming is boldly acknowledging Christ's name in our world so that He might acknowledge our name before the Father. Overcoming is about clothing ourselves with Christ's righteousness, his character; with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience (Col. 3:12) so that we my be clothed in white for eternity.
