Yes, it is Biblical.

I don't know, I guess overcome your self.

The Seven Letters of Revelations follow the same pattern:

Beginning: "These things saith He-" and "I know thy works-."

Closing: "He that OverCometh-" "He that hath an ear let him hear-."

"To Him that Overcometh"

In Ephesus: ...Eat of Tree of Life
In Smyrna: ...not hurt of Second Death
In Pergamum: ...to Eat of Hidden Manna
In Thyratia: ...will I give Morning Star
In Sardis: ...not blot name from Book of Life
In Philadelphia ...pillar in Temple of God
In Laodicea ...to sit with Me in My Throne

"The Tree of Life", 2:7

Promised to those who overcome allurements of false teaching and natural temptations to fleshly indulgence and worldly ease.

While the Ephesian Church, as a Church, has perished, the promise of the Tree of Life still holds good to Individuals, in any Church, who overcome.
