HOW CAN I KNOW THAT THE LAND WILL BE MINE?........ Genesis 15:9

Genesis 15: 1  After Abram was blessed by Melchizedek from the VICTORY over Chedorlaomer and the other kings, Abram had a vision and heard the LORD say to him, "DO NOT BE AFRAID, Abram. I WILL SHIELD YOU FROM DANGER AND GIVE YOU A GREAT REWARD."

Genesis 15: 4 Then he heard the LORD speaking to him again: "THIS SLAVE ELIEZER WILL NOT INHERIT YOUR PROPERTY; YOUR OWN SON (the believe in Jesus Christ) WILL BE YOUR HEIR.

Genesis 15: 6 Abram BELIEVED IN THE LORD; and the LORD counted it to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS.

GENESIS 15: 12   When the sun was going down, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and FEAR AND TERROR came over him.

Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians was written to deal with the PROBLEMS OF CHRISTIAN LIFE and FAITH that had arisen IN THE CHURCH which Paul had establish at Corinth.
At that time CORINTH was a great COSMOPOLITAN GREEK CITY, the CAPITAL OF THE ROMAN PROVINCE OF ACHAIA. It was noted for its thriving commerce, proud culture, widespread immorality, and VARIETY OF RELIGIONS. The question that Abram said is related to this kind of world. "HOW CAN I KNOW THAT THE LAND WILL BE MINE," he said.
Paul's chief concerns are with problems such as divisions and immorality IN THE CHURCH, and with questions about sex and marriage, matters of conscience, church order, gifts of the HOLY SPIRIT, and the RESURRECTION.

1 Corinthians 15: 12 - 20      Now, since our MESSAGE is that CHRIST has been raised from DEATH, how can some of you say that the dead will not be raised to LIFE? If that is true, it means that CHRIST has not been raised from death, then we have nothing to preach and you have nothing to BELIEVE.
More than that, we are shown to be lying about GOD, because we said that HE RAISED CHRIST FROM DEATH.    ....  For if the dead are not raised, neither has CHRIST been raised...... then YOUR FAITH IS A DELUSION and YOU ARE STILL LOST IN YOUR SINS. It would also mean that THE BELIEVERS IN CHRIST WHO HAVE DIED ARE LOST.  IF OUR HOPE IN CHRIST IS GOOD FOR THIS LIFE ONLY and no more, then we deserve more pity than anyone else in all the world.   But THE TRUTH is that CHRIST HAS BEEN RAISED FROM DEATH, as THE GUARANTEE THAT THOSE WHO SLEEP IN DEATH will also BE RAISED.
