Two Natures, Two Families, and Two Futures

Long has this portion of Scripture been debated. Wide and varied are the opinions of those concerning these verses. Let it be understood, that no matter what one's conviction is of these verses...The totality of the book is written to grant assurance to the true believers, and to challenge the empty claims of make believers.
Every true saint, has been made partaker of the Divine Nature. Brought into the family of God, and has a certain and glorious future. We may know that we know Him, if we are a new creature in Christ.
