2 | Abraham inheriting the whole world? | Heb 11:8 | Tamara Brewington | 205545 | ||
Dear Woldem, Welcome to the forum! Check out Hebrews 11:8-10 - we have here that Abraham is said to have been sent out to receive an inheritance of land, a place, not the whole world... He went out and he was an alien looking for a city which has foundations in God, talking about faith here as well as the promised land. But he never found it see - verse 13 says these all died in faith without having received the promises. See Genesis 12:1-3, here God promises that He will make Abram a great nation and in you all the earth will be blessed. But this is not about Abraham inheriting the earth at all, it is about his seed being blessed in the future and being a great nation. Here is who will inherit the earth. The righteous - Psalm 25:13. The meek or the gentle - Mathew 5:5. The blessed by God - Psalm 37:22. The humble - Psalm 37:11. The picture we get is that the saved inherit the earth - check this out you have to be made righteous by Jesus in order for God to say you are righteous, you are not truly humble till you bow down answer to God, you don't become truly gentle or meek until you get sanctified which takes getting saved first. So the saved inherit the earth. God's Day, Tamara |
