“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.” ’ ~ Revelation 2:17
What does it mean to overcome in this way? What does God mean? What does God want you to do, and how do you have a part in it?

The Overcomers
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.” ’ ~ Revelation 2:17

Some people think you overcome by presenting amazing sermons. Others believe you overcome by winning arguments. Others think you overcome through politics or military force. Still others believe you overcome by performing miracles or through displays of spiritual power. Overcoming may affect any of those. However, none of those are what God means by overcoming.
The one who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will never again leave it. Upon him I will write the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God (the new Jerusalem that comes down out of heaven from My God), and My new name.~ Revelation 3:12
These words aren’t easy to understand. They may violate our inner ideas about the nature of what God is doing. Of course, our theologies have no authority over the Bible.
