What do these verses bring to mind?<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Romans 4:13<\/span>
Abraham and his Seed<\/span><\/strong> received the Promise that He<\/strong><\/span> would be Heir<\/span><\/strong> of the World (Greek “kosmos<\/em>“).<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Galatians 3:16-17, 19<\/span>
16 Now to Abraham and his Seed<\/span><\/strong> were the Promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed<\/strong><\/span>,” who is Christ<\/span><\/strong>. <\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
17 And this I say, that The Law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God<\/span> in Christ<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/u>, that it should make the promise of no effect. <\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
What purpose then does the Law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed<\/span><\/strong> should come to Whom<\/span><\/strong> the Promise was made<\/u>;<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
 <\/div>\n\n\n\n
In the Romans 4:13<\/span> phrase, “Heir<\/span> of the World<\/span><\/strong>,” the term “World<\/span><\/strong>” is derived from the Greek, “Kosmos<\/span><\/strong><\/em>,” the root of the English word, “Cosmos<\/span><\/strong>,” as well as similar words of every language, such as Russian’s, “cosmo<\/span><\/strong>naut,” (that is, “navigator of the Cosmos<\/span><\/strong><\/em>“).<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
 <\/div>\n\n\n\n
Does being “Heir<\/span> of the Cosmos<\/span>” have implications that exceed what most of us have imagined?<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Matthew 28:18<\/span>
Jesus<\/span><\/strong> came to them and said, “All authority in Heaven and on the Earth has been given to Me<\/span><\/strong>.”<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
 <\/div>\n\n\n\n
As a Christ<\/span>ian, (and consequently an heir<\/span> <\/span>of Abraham), what does being an heir<\/span> of the Cosmos<\/span> mean to you?<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Romans 8:17<\/span>
Now if we are children<\/span>, then we are heirs<\/span> \u2014 heirs<\/span> of God<\/span><\/strong> and co-heirs with Christ<\/span><\/strong><\/u><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Romans 9:8<\/span>
That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God<\/span><\/strong>; but the children of <\/span>the Promise<\/strong><\/span> are counted as <\/span>the Seed<\/strong><\/span>.<\/u><\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
  <\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Galatians 3:29<\/span>
And if you are Christ’s<\/strong><\/span>, then you are Abraham’s Seed<\/span>, and heirs according to <\/span>the Promise<\/span><\/strong>.<\/u><\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Blessing of Abraham = The Promise = the Holy Spirit of God<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Galatians 3:14
That the Blessing of Abraham<\/span><\/strong> might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the Promise of the Spirit<\/span><\/strong> through faith. <\/span><\/p>\n

Acts 2:32-33
32 This Jesus<\/span><\/strong> hath God<\/span><\/strong> raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
33 Therefore being by the right hand of God<\/span><\/strong> exalted, and having received of <\/span>the Father <\/span>the Promise of the Holy Ghost<\/span><\/strong>, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
KJV

Ephesians 3:20-21<\/span>
Now to Him<\/strong><\/span> who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the Power<\/span><\/strong><\/span> that works in us,
21 to Him<\/span><\/strong> be glory<\/span> in the Church<\/span><\/strong> by Christ Jesus<\/strong><\/span> to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
