Genesis: Citizens Of The Promised Land

After the death of Sarah, Abraham looks for a burial plot to bury his wife. Amazingly though, Abraham doesn’t return to his homeland of Ur of the Chaldeans, but instead rests in God’s promises that one day his descendants will inherit the land he is currently a sojourner in. As such, he stays and buys a plot of land in Canaan to bury Sarah in, that one day his entire family will also utilize, showing how God’s promise of Abraham’s descendants inheriting the land comes true. Likewise, it shows us today how we should trust in God’s promises, as those who place their faith in Christ will also one day receive the inheritance of the Kingdom of God!
