Am Israel
The Ramban resolves this difficulty in his commentary to Parashat Va'etchanan. There he explains that the Jewish people always exist on two planes. One is the Jewish people at any particular point in history. Sometimes we are worthy, sometimes we are not, all depending on the religious and spiritual level achieved by the particular generation.
But there is another plane on which we exist called "Knesset Israel." This is the totality of the Jewish people in all times, the past, the present, and the future, including the Patriarchs, the Matriarchs, and the righteous of all generations. The Jewish people eternal are always worthy qualitatively and truly merit inheriting Eretz Israel.
Our goal must always be to make the Jewish people of our own generation as similar as possible to Knesset Israel, the Jewish people eternal.
