====4:13 What does it mean that Abraham should be the heir of the world?====
This refers to God's promise to give the whole earth to Abraham and his descendants (CP Gen 12:1-3; 18:17-18; 21:12; 22:15-18; Ro 4:16-18; Ga 3:8). 

Seed in Gen 21:12 refers specifically to Jesus, which Paul quotes in Ga 3:16 (CP Ga 3:16). 

Because of Jesus, Abraham, his descendants, and all who are justified by faith with him, will inherit the earth (CP Ro 4:11-12 with Psa 37:11; Mt 5:5; 25:34; Rev 5:10; 22:4-5).
