father of two groups of people—the believing Jews and the believing Gentiles. If you believe in the Lord, Abraham is your father. All the be lievers in Christ are his descendants.

THE PROMISE GIVEN FOR HIM AND HIS SEED TO BE THE HEIRS

OF THE WORLD

The promise was given to Abraham and his seed that they should be heirs of the world (4:13). This is a great matter. Abraham and his descen dants have inherited God, and they will also inherit the world. Let other people fight for the control of the world. The world will be ours. After the wars are over, God will say, "Let My people have the world." This promise was not given through the works of the law, but through the righteousness of faith. Who will inherit the earth? Those who have been called and believe in the Lord Jesus, those who have Christ as their faith and as their righteousness. Be assured that the world will be ours. We do not need to fight or strive. We simply need to believe in the mighty acts of God. Every day I read the international news to see what God is doing, especially in the Middle East. It is wonderful to be living in this age, an age of God's activity. God is not only

acting on behalf of the Jews, but also on our behalf. One day the world will belong to all the believing heirs of Abraham.

Do you believe this? I have the complete con fidence that one day we shall inherit the earth. We should expect to inherit the world. The Bible does assure us that we shall inherit the world. Christ Himself is eager to come back and re cover the earth. He is far more interested in the earth than in the heavens. The Lord will return to take the earth not only for Himself, but also for us. We are the heirs of the promise, and we shall inherit the world.
