Rev 21:7
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
In the original its really he that is overcoming, present tense active !
Now exactly who is it that shall do this, be overcoming ? Why it is all for whom Christ died, all who are of the House He is building Heb 3:6
But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
What Hope ? this one 1 Pet 1:3
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
That Hope, a Living one given us in New Birth which was by the Resurrection of Christ from having died for us, if we have that Hope !
Now Rev 21:7 is speaking of all those Christ died for, Joint Heirs with Him Rom 8:17, and He died for them as their Representative Head ! All for whom Christ died shall be overcoming, sin, satan, and the world, simply because Christ overcame them their enemies and gives them the Victory 1 Cor 15:57. When He did it, it was not as a private person, but as an Public represenative and head, for His Body the Church, and He inherits all things in their behalf, as their Head and Husband !
Jesus says here Jn 16:33
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Jesus here in essence is saying to His Church, Be of good cheer, because I in behalf of you, have overcome the world. The word overcome here is in the perfect tense , meaning I have already overcome with results of it continuing on ! If the Head has overcome, then the Body must participate in that Victory ! Yes they shall take or have a part or share,in the overcoming Victory of their Prince !
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
