Romans 4:11-18
11
And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while still uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all those believing through uncircumcision, that righteousness might be accounted to them also;
12
and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham while still uncircumcised.
13
For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith.
14
For if those who are of the Law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise has been annulled,
15
because the Law brings about wrath; for where there is no law, neither is there transgression.
16
Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all
17
(as it is written, I have made you a father of many nations) in the presence of Him whom he believed; God, who makes the dead alive and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;
18
who, against hope, believed in hope, so that he might become the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, So shall your seed be.

Galatians 3:29
And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
