Believers are eternally secure in their salvation

According to the challenge presented in the podcast episode, believers are eternally secure in their salvation by becoming sons of God. Scriptures like John 1:12-13 and Romans 8:14-23 are used to support this perspective. The defense argues, however, that the concept of sonship is a metaphor and should not be understood in the same way as our earthly parent-child relationship. The metaphor of sonship is used in different ways in Scripture, involving being born again and being adopted. Therefore, the argument that once a person becomes a son, they cannot cease to be a son is not entirely accurate.
