Lesson 4: Sons and Heirs: Losing Rewards, Never Sonship (1 Corinthians 6)

Inheritance of the kingdom belongs exclusively to those who are sons of God, obtained through salvation and preceding any portion; all sons receive an inheritance, but only a faithful firstborn retains a double portion, while unfaithfulness forfeits that special share (Romans 8:12-17, Galatians 6:15-16, 1 Corinthians 15:29). Believers are joint heirs with Christ, receiving rewards proportional to Spirit-led obedience, whereas the unrighteous inherit nothing.
