Lesson 18 of 77
The Begotten of God
{See Lessons 7, 9, 22}
By Lawrence DeMetrius

Every mortal spirit that is begotten of Yahweh’s Word and Spirit was predestined to be so from the foundation of the world. Apostle John writes,

He came unto His Own, and His Own received Him not.
But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His Name:
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
[St Jn 1:11-13]

Apostle Paul writes,

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, WHO hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
According as HE hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before HIM in love:
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to HIMSELF, according to the good pleasure of HIS will.
To the praise of the glory of HIS grace, wherein HE hath made us accepted in the Beloved.
[Eph 1:3-6]

The Begotten of God have the Holy Ghost as Witness to their familiar relationship with Yahweh through Christ and as the Seal of their eternal inheritance. Apostle Paul writes,

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the
Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
The Spirit Itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of
God:
And if children, the heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ:
[Rm 8:14-17a]
In Whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of HIM Who worketh all things after the counsel of HIS OWN will:
That we should be to the praise of HIS glory, WHO first trusted in Christ.
In Whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation in Whom also, after that ye believed, ye were sealed with the holy Spirit of promise.
Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of HIS glory.
[Eph 1:11-14]

Although it was to the benefit of all mortal spirits, the Sacrifice of Christ the Lamb occurred before the foundation of the world, in order to secure the eternal inheritance of those whose names are written in The Book of Life. Apostle John writes,

And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him <Lucifer>, whose names are not written in The Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
[Rev 13:8]

Yahweh is fully committed to conforming newly begotten mortal spirits to the Image of HIS Christ. Apostle Paul writes,

For whom HE <Yahweh> did foreknow, HE also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of HIS Son, that He <Christ> might be the Firstborn among many brethren.
[Rm 8:29]

Although begotten sons of God remain inflicted with the carnal nature, Christ makes and keeps them free from the power of sin therein, through their continued obedience to the principles of righteousness, as taught by Yahweh’s scribes and prophets from Enoch to Christ and His Original Apostles.





Apostle Paul writes,

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
being justified freely by HIS grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His Blood, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
To declare, I say, at this time HIS righteousness: that HE might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
[Rm 3:23-26]

The Lord Jesus said,

Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.
[Mt 11:28-30]

These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning Me.
Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures.
[Lk 24:44, 45]

If ye continue in My word, then are ye My Disciples indeed;
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
[Jn 8:31, 32, 36]

Having obtained this glorious disposition with God through Christ, let all the Elect abide therein as The Begotten of God.
