What does the Bible say about the inheritance of promise?

Answered in 2 sources

The inheritance of promise is both a physical land given to Israel and a spiritual inheritance of eternal salvation through Christ.

The inheritance of promise refers to both the physical land given to Abraham's descendants and the spiritual inheritance of eternal salvation that it typifies. In Joshua 1:10-11, Israel is commanded to enter and possess the land that has already been given to them by God. This physical inheritance is symbolic of the greater spiritual inheritance that has been granted to God's elect people in Christ before the foundation of the world. The land flowing with milk and honey represents the abundant spiritual blessings found in true faith and union with Christ, which is fulfilled in the New Covenant.
