Norman Young in his article “The Promises of God” states the following:

The blessing for Paul was not the land (“inheritance,” Gal. 3:18; 4:30) as such, but the assurance that all those who have faith in Christ—as Abraham had had in God’s word (Gen. 15:6)—are the true offspring of the Patriarchs.

I disagree as the promises to Abraham and his seed, our Lord Jesus Christ includes the promise of the land. I notice that Norman does not mention Genesis 13:14-15 in his article.

Genesis 13:14–15 (KJV): 14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: 15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.

Please note that Paul includes this promise in the following:

Galatians 3:16,26–29 (KJV): 16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

When Abraham is resurrected he will inherit the land with the faithful for the 1000 years. The earth will not be scorched and desolate for the 1000 years as taught by the SDAs.

Kind regards Trevor
