KJV Dictionary Definition: heir

One who is entitled to possess. In Scripture, saints are called heirs of the promise, heirs of righteousness, heirs of salvation, &c., by virtue of the death of Christ, or of God's gracious promises.

Christ's Sonship "HEIR"
Matt :38 "When the vine growers saw the son, they said among themselves, 'This is the heir, come, let us kill him & seize his inheritance (Matt 21:38, Mk 12:7, Lk 20:14

Heb 1:2 in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He "appointed heir" of all things, thru whom also He made the world

Our Sonship in Christ "HEIRS"
Rom 4:
13 The promise to Abraham or to his posterity, that he should ""inherit"" the world, "did not" come through observing the commands of the Law "but" thru the righteousness of faith
(NOTE: Abraham received the promise of INHERITANCE thru faith, NOT, thru works/law keeping)

14 If it is the adherents of the Law who are to be the heirs, then faith is made futile & empty of all meaning & the promise of God is made void is annulled & has no power
(NOTE: Believers become HEIRS thru faith, NOT, thru works/law keeping)

Rom 8:
14 For "if" those who are of the Law are heirs, faith is made void & the promise is nullified

17 We're children, "heirs also", "heirs of God & fellow heirs with Christ

Gal 3:29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants, "heirs according to promise"

Gal 4:7 You are no longer a slave but a son; & if a son, then an "heir" through God

Eph 3:6 To be specific, that the "Gentiles are fellow heirs" & fellow members of the body, & fellow partakers of the promise (by faith) in Christ Jesus thru the gospel

Titus 3:7 So that being "justified by His grace" we would be made "heirs" according to the hope of eternal life

KJV dictionary, minister: A delegate; an embassador; the representative of a sovereign.

Heb 1:14 Angels are ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation
(NOTE: God has sent forth Angels, to minister to His HEIRS/ believers. Hum, Guardian Angels?)

Any person that has confessed with their mouth that Jesus is Lord & believed in their heart, that God raised Jesus from the grave. Is an HEIR of God thru faith in the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ. MOO! My Opinion Only
