How do we know that we inherit the promises of God?

The assurance of inheriting God's promises comes from faith in the sacrificial work of Christ. As Abram asked God how he would know he would inherit the land, God's answer involved the covenant established through the sacrificial act, which points to Christ's redemptive sacrifice. Through faith, believers can rest assured in their inheritance, understanding that the fulfillment of God's promises is anchored in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. As Romans 4 emphasizes, righteousness is imputed by faith, not by works, confirming our inheritance is assured through Christ alone.
