Handbook ExcerptThe following is from Chapter 3: Divine DNA. It was published in the May/June 2003 issue of the "Homiletics" magazine in the section "Animating Illustrations":
"Is it scientifically possible to remove the DNA connection we have with our earthly parents? No, because new scientific breakthroughs in molecular research have proven DNA can't be completely removed or dramatically altered due to its complex structure. Is it spiritually possible to remove God's DNA from our souls once we are born again? No. We are linked eternally to God in such a way that no matter what happens in our futures, our heavenly genetic link to Him can't be broken.
In other words children of God won't lose or cut their eternal link with Him, but they can break their relationship with Him. How? By turning their back on God in rebellion. Similar to what a son or daughter does when they choose to disown their birth family. They may never see their family again, but whatever they do or wherever they go it will never change the fact they have a DNA connection to their biological parents. They are still family members, if only through their shared DNA.
So if a child of God thinks they've done something to lose eternal life or their spiritual position as a member of God's family, they need to ask themself this question: How can I change my spiritual DNA or reverse my spiritual birth? The answer is: You can't."
