The Bible teaches that heirs of salvation are those who are chosen and adopted by God through Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 1:14 states that angels are ministering spirits sent forth to serve those who will be heirs of salvation. This indicates that not everyone is an heir; an heir is a specific person legally entitled to the blessings of salvation through Christ's work. In Galatians 4:1-7, we find that through Christ's redemption, believers are adopted as sons and thereby become heirs of God. This adoption isn't based on our works but solely on God's grace and the finished work of Christ on the cross.
