How do we know the meek will inherit the earth?

Answered in 1 source

The meek will inherit the earth as a promise from God, indicating that humility before Him leads to divine blessings.

In Matthew 5:5, Jesus states, 'Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.' This promise is deeply rooted in the character of God and His established order. The meek, who are characterized by gentleness and humility, align themselves with God's will and ways. In Psalm 37:11, it affirms that the meek will possess the land and enjoy abundant peace. This suggests that their inheritance will be both spiritual and material, highlighting that God favors those who trust in Him and submit to His sovereignty. Those who display meekness exhibit a Christ-like spirit, and as joint heirs with Christ, they will ultimately share in the fulfillment of His promises.
