It is often used metaphorically to describe believers as heirs of God's promises. Context: The term κληρονόμος appears in several New Testament passages, emphasizing the concept of inheritance both in a physical and spiritual sense. In the cultural context of the New Testament, an heir was typically a son who would receive the family estate upon the father's death. This concept is expanded in the New Testament to include spiritual inheritance through faith in Christ.
