What does it mean to be an heir of promise?

Answered in 1 source

Being an heir of promise means receiving the blessings and assurances God gives to His people through faith.

In Hebrews 6, the term 'heirs of promise' refers to those who lay claim to God's covenantal promises through faith in Christ. This designation signifies a relationship based on grace rather than works, emphasizing that the blessings of salvation and eternal life are secured by God's unchanging promise. As heirs, believers can take comfort knowing that their salvation is assured because it is grounded in God's faithfulness, not their own efforts. This identity as heirs connects believers to the larger narrative of God's intention to save His people as seen through Abraham's covenant.
