And also, in some sense, are we not similar to the son of the unloved woman? One can argue, I think, validly so, that in all of humanity, throughout all of history, there are only two kinds of people in the world, the righteous and the unrighteous. Seed of the woman, the seed of the serpent. You're a son of one or the other, figuratively, metaphorically speaking. And those with only the inheritance of the serpent have a perishable passing inheritance. But those who are sons of Abraham, by grace, through faith, believing and trusting in the promises of God, receive an internal inheritance, Ephesians 1, that cannot be shaken, kept, guarded in heaven for us, says Peter to the church, 1 Peter 1, verse 4. That's a gift. That inheritance is a gift that cannot be earned, it can't be bought, it's received by faith and by faith alone in Jesus as Savior.
