I wouldn’t equate God’s family with an earthly family. Stick to the scriptures where Christ says, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Otherwise, you’ll have a poor sense of the love of God and what your salvation means to Him and to you.

The angels rejoice over one sinner coming to God.

You’re right. My specific confusion was the Source of our undeserved Grace, that Grace is from the Son, not the Father. My mistake.

Regarding “falling from Grace” true or false, or whether or not I, too, am saved... still working on it.

My general opinion after reading the material has been that, the Father will let us go, giving us over to our own delusions if we’re stubborn enough about our truth outranking His.

Jesus, on the other hand, never stops knocking on our door. He never gives up on us, no matter what we’re doing wrong.

The Trinitarian thing gets confusing.

Totally agree! It took some time for me to come to the realization that my Heavenly Father was NOT like my earthly father. God's love is UNCONDITIONAL. He loves us more than we can ever know and His will for us is going to always be what is best for us. Once we understand this, we can rest in the promises of God and trust in His unchanging, eternal love.

And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us. (I John 4:16-19)
