What does it mean to be heirs according to the promise?
Answered in 1 source
Being heirs according to the promise means that believers in Christ are the intended recipients of God's blessings and the fulfillment of His covenant.
As highlighted in Galatians 3:29, those who belong to Christ are considered Abraham's seed and heirs according to God's promise. This designation signifies that believers are part of God's redemptive plan and are granted access to the spiritual blessings promised to Abraham. It emphasizes that salvation and inheritance are not based on personal merit or ethnic lineage but are received purely through faith in Christ. This accords with God's unchanging covenant, wherein He promises to be our God and bless us eternally in Christ.
