What does it mean to be an heir of God?

Answered in 3 sources

Being an heir of God means that we are designated as His children and entitled to share in His promises and inheritance.

Romans 8 affirms that believers are not only justified but also adopted into God's family, making them heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. This profound truth means that Christians inherit all the spiritual blessings and promises given by God, which were predestined before the foundation of the world. Ephesians 1 reinforces this by explaining that we have obtained an inheritance due to God's purpose and will. Understanding our identity as God's heirs instills hope and assurance about our eternal future.
