12.In what attitude did Abraham conduct his life in Canaan?

Abraham lived like a stranger in a foreign country.

Although Abraham was extremely wealthy he chose to live in tents, just as was true of his fellow-heirs, Isaac and Jacob.

Each Christian disciple is to live in this present world as an alien in a foreign country. If he does, not attempting to become rich in the things of the world, he will inherit the earth at the coming of the Lord. The farthest reaches of the earth and the nations thereof are the inheritance of Christ and His coheirs.

Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen [nations] for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession (Psalms 2:8).

Jesus set the example for all of His brothers by living on the earth as an alien, not being part of the present world system. Now He is Lord of all. We also will be coheirs with Him if we suffer with Him.

And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together (Romans 8:17).
