What does it mean to overcome in Revelation?

Answered in 1 source

To overcome in Revelation signifies remaining faithful to Christ and His teachings despite trials, resulting in eternal rewards.

In Revelation 2:17, Christ promises a reward to those who overcome, which includes the gift of hidden manna and a new name. Overcoming refers to persevering in faith and maintaining allegiance to Christ, even in the face of temptation and persecution. The hidden manna symbolizes spiritual sustenance that the world cannot provide, representing Christ Himself as the Bread of Life. The new name signifies a transformed identity and acceptance in God's family. Thus, overcoming is closely tied to faithfulness to the gospel and assurance of eternal life through Christ's redemptive work.
