Commentary
Commentary on Revelation 21:7
Theological / DevotionalOvercometh. That is, according to the Greek, continually conquers, or habitually conquers. The Christian lives the victorious life by the power of the Holy Spirit. He may make mistakes (see on 1 John 2:1), but his normal life presents a picture of spiritual growth (cf. Rev. 2:7, 11, 17, 26; 3:5, 12, 21).
All things. Textual evidence attests (cf. p. 10) the reading “these things,” that is, the promises given in the Revelation, particularly the things mentioned in this chapter.
His God … my son. Compare Gen. 17:7; 2 Sam. 7:14. The promise of intimate family connection is here set forth. The sinner saved by grace will be received into the family of God and be brought into a relation as close as if he had never sinned. The inhabitants of unfallen worlds cannot be closer to God and Christ than will be the redeemed sinner.
