In today's lesson, Dr. Larry B. Patrick concludes "The Family of God Rational", and continues "The Body Metaphor for Eternal Security". In Christ as a whole body we are joint heirs with Him.
In the royal family of God , Jesus Christ is head, and every believer is a member or part of His body. Jesus as the head is found in Eph 1:22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 4:15; Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

In today's lesson, Dr. Larry B. Patrick concludes our current series teaching "The Eternal Life Rational". He begins the introduction explaining the three categories of grace involved in God's relationship with mankind: Pre-Salvation, Salvation and Post Grace. Within the process of this deposition, Dr. Patrick then brings out these following important valid factual points: Once a believer is saved (born again) they now have two natures in conflict with each other. The old sin nature, and now the newly imputed God righteous spirit birthed in them. The additional point is technically all humans have an old sin nature and everlasting soul life, yet two different destinations. For the believers, eternal security in Heaven+ and for the unbelievers the eternal lake of fire. This distinguishes the difference between a born again saved believer v.s an unsaved unbeliever. Yet both states of being are permanent... And just as man's weakness and works cannot cancel nor earn God's Salvation, unbelievers can't cancel their fate dwelling in eternal hellfire from God's appointed judgement. In conclusion, There is nothing GOD THE FATHER, SON, HOLY SPIRIT can do to cancel our salvation after we believe in JESUS CHRIST+ And there is nothing we can do either. Now join us for part 18 in the final wrap up of our series..."Eternal Security". Scripture references: 1 John 5:11-13, and Colossians 3:3.
