“whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”
2 Peter 1:4 KJV
Peter tells that God has called us. “As a result of this, He has given us magnificent promises that are beyond all price, so that through the power of these tremendous promises we can experience partnership with the divine nature, by which we have escaped the corrupt desires that are of the world.” Through the glorious manifestation of His goodness He has given us His magnificent promises. As we claim these tremendous promises as our very own, faith releases the power of the Word of God in us. So we partake of His divine nature, which is one of the great mysteries of our faith. It is amazing to know that God chooses to share His nature with us. We are given birth by the Holy Spirit to be God’s true sons and daughters, and every father imparts his DNA and his “nature” to his children. Christ lives in us and transforms us into His very own likeness. In Christ we share with Him the divine nature. We will all bear the image of the Man from heaven, Jesus Christ. Hallelujah!
