God swore two main promises to Abraham that's potentially transferrable to ALL OF MANKIND. To make of him and his descendants A GREAT NATION... and that THROUGH HIM [that is; the FAITH that he displayed through his actions] ALL THE NATIONS [families: all of mankind] OF THE EARTH WOULD BE BLESSED [that is; the promise of Salvation through the Messiah whose descent is traced through Abraham].
Ultimately, the "Great Nation" promised to Abraham translates into the GOOD NEWS [gospel] of the COMING KINGDOM OF GOD, that only those who shall be saved through the Messiah's Salvation shall inherit and enter into.
And only those who "BELIEVE" in the God of Abraham [who was and is Jesus Christ; the Almighty Creator God of the Old Testament - see John 1:3] or who in other words "possess the Faith of Abraham" may regard themselves as Abraham's children, and, subsequently, may consider themselves heirs of the Promise.
"Even as Abraham BELIEVED God... Know ye therefore that THEY WHICH ARE OF FAITH [that is: they who also BELIEVE God as Abraham did], THE SAME ARE THE CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM." (Gal.3:6
"And IF YE BE CHRIST'S [who was and is Abraham's God], THEN ARE YE ABRAHAM'S SEED, and HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE..." (verse 29).
If the Faith [the BELIEFS] of Abraham, therefore, is in you... then you are an HEIR of THE PROMISE OF SALVATION. Because Abraham is one of God's Heirs of His Kingdom... and His Salvation.
