KEY VERSE:
And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. Galatians 3:29
INTRODUCTION
Abraham was chosen by God to be the father of many nations. Through him all the nations of the earth were to be blessed:
And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. Genesis 22:18
The New Testament reveals that all believers are heirs to the promises God gave Abraham. To be an "heir" means you have inherited from him:
Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the Gospel unto Abraham saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
Galatians 3:7-9
You are an heir because you have become the seed of Abraham through Jesus Christ:
And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promises. Galatians 3:29
As seed of Abraham you are an heir of the promise of salvation. But as an heir you are also under commission to bless the nations of the world with the good news of the Gospel.
You are told to claim your inheritance:
Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Psalms 2:8
Through Abraham the nations of the world were to be blessed. Through Jesus the nations are your inheritance also.
