They both Abraham and Sarah his wife were well in years he was about 100 , when he left for Canaan.
When Abraham was approximately 86 years old the Lord promised Abraham that he would have an heir, and that Abraham's descendants would be as numerous as the stars and to his descendants God would give them the land from the river of Egypt to the great river, Euphrates ( Genesis 15). This was a reassurance of the promise in Genesis 12. We know that about this same time period, Sarah told Abraham to go into her handmaid, Hagar, and that perhaps they might have an heir by her. This was a mistake. Ishmael was born from this union and about 14 years later a son, Isaac was born to Sarah and Abraham. Abraham was 100 years old (Genesis21:1-7.) Isaac was the son of promise.

In chapter 12 of Genesis, the virtue demonstrated by Abraham is his unwavering faith and obedience to God's command. Despite the uncertainty and challenges he faced, Abraham trusted in God's promise and willingly left his homeland to embark on a journey to an unknown land. This act of faith exemplifies his deep commitment to God and serves as a foundational example of trust in divine guidance.

Answer:The Christian's inheritance is God's promise to Abraham, to inherit the world... sometimes called the "Kingdom of God.""...ye are all one in Christ.

(Gal.3:7)"For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith." (Rom.4:13)"There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD, and you yourselves thrust out." (Luke 13:28)"For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise." (Gal.3:18)"By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, OBEYED... by faith he sojourned in the land of promise (THE PROMISED LAND), as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise..." (Heb.11:8-9)."Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the Truth of God, to CONFIRM THE PROMISES MADE UNTO THE FATHERS... Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with His people..." (Rom.15:8-10).The inheritance of Christians is the promises Christ gave to Abraham, the father of the faithful: the Kingdom of God on the earth... and eternal life.
