Believers are heirs of God by virtue of being adopted as His children, as stated in Galatians 4:7.
Believers are assured of their status as heirs of God through the redemptive work of Christ. Galatians 4:7 tells us, 'Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.' This adoption signifies a profound change in our relationship with God, from that of a servant to that of a child who enjoys the privileges of sonship. Ephesians 1:11 elaborates that in Christ, we have obtained an inheritance, showcasing the certainty and security of this promise for all who are united with Him by faith. Thus, our identity as heirs affirms the depth of God’s grace and His sovereign choice in our salvation.
