What does the Bible say about the meek inheriting the earth?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible promises that the meek shall inherit the earth, referring to a new heaven and new earth prepared by God.

Psalm 37:11 states, 'But the meek shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.' This promise is echoed in the New Testament when Jesus declares in Matthew 5:5, 'Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.' The meek are those who are humbled by their own sinfulness and rely solely on God's grace. They are not to inherit the corrupt world that currently exists, as we see in 2 Peter 3, which describes this earth as destined for destruction by fire. Instead, they will inherit a new earth, as promised in Revelation 21:1, where God will dwell with His people and wipe away all tears.
