“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
As a result of this, He has given you 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 a glorious manifestation of His goodness, He has imparted in us His magnificent promises, and by claiming them as our own by faith, the power of the Word of God is released in us. We participate as a partner as we fellowship with His divine nature. It’s a great mystery of the Gospel that God should choose 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. The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. Amen!
