I Am Guaranteed An Inheritance

Lesson 13

November 1, 2023 • Pastor Chad Thompson • Romans 8:15, Galatians 4:4–5

Give

Adoption is the act of God whereby He gives the believing sinner his position, standing, legal rights, inheritance as a joint-heir with Christ, and all the full privileges of an adult son/(daughter) of God.

Adoption is contrasted with regeneration. Regeneration is the new birth that changes us and imparts unto us the holy nature of our Father and makes us a child of God. Adoption does not change our nature, but rather it changes our position and legal standing as adult sons (daughters) of God and thus guarantees us an inheritance.

Salvation Will Be Made Complete

March 6, 2024 • Pastor Chad Thompson • Colossians 3:4, 1 Corinthians 15:43, Romans 8:18, Romans 8:30

Glorification is the ultimate and absolute physical, mental, and spiritual perfection and transformation of each believer into the image of Christ. It is in essence the completion of our salvation.

I Can Be Assured Of My Salvation

February 28, 2024 • Pastor Chad Thompson

The gospel brings us a salvation that is eternally secure. God preserves us. Eternal security is God’s assurance of our salvation. God is absolutely certain of the security of our salvation because He is the one who is securing it. God saves, seals, and secures. Assurance is our confidence in God saving us and securing us. The ultimate secret to assurance of salvation is to base your present assurance of salvation on exactly what you based your past experience of salvation – FAITH in CHRIST ALONE, not in yourself.

Secured By The Son & Spirit

February 21, 2024 • Pastor Chad Thompson

The gospel is good news because we are preserved and secured by God the Son and the Holy Spirit. We secured by Jesus through His promises, his prayers, His substitutionary death, His resurrection, His heavenly work as our advocate and intercessor. We are preserved and secured by the Spirit through His work of regeneration, His work of placing us in union with Christ, His work of indwelling us permanently and serving as the earnest payment guaranteeing God will complete our salvation.
