What does being an heir of promise mean?

Answered in 1 source

Being an heir of promise means receiving God's gracious gifts based on His covenant promises rather than human merit.

The concept of being an heir of promise underscores the gracious nature of God’s covenant with His people. In Hebrews 6:17, God's people, referred to as heirs of promise, are assured that their salvation and blessings are not dependent on their works but solely on God's unmerited favor. This status excludes any reliance on personal merit, emphasizing that salvation is a gift from God. Faith in Christ alone grants believers access to all the promises of God.
