Revelations 21:7 tells us that those who overcome will inherit all things. Overcoming is something that each of us must do in order to enter into the Kingdom of God. In this world, the deceptions of satan are our greatest obstacles to overcoming. The second epistle of Peter reveals many of the qualities each of us must ​possess in order to be granted entrance into that eternal Kingdom.
