Here we have listed the many aspects of the promise to him that overcome. Each of the seven churches of Revelation 2-3 was given a different view of the promise, representing different aspects of the promise as a whole that is inheriting "all things". Each one of these is truely wonderful and warrant a study of their own. But how are we to inherit this promise:

1 John 2v13-14 I write unto you, fathers because ye have known Him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you little children, because ye have known the Father. I have written unto you fathers, because ye have known Him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong and the Word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
1 John 4v4: Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.
1 John 5v4-5 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

Who are we to overcome? The world that is under Satan's power.
How are we to overcome? By belief in the Lord Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit dwelling within us and the Word of God abiding in us.
