"....His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that by these you may be partakers of the divine nature...." (From 2 Peter 1:3 & 4)
How about this for today's "promise box"--------- "His divine power has given to us...the divine nature...." Religions, philosophies, and the "Imagine[s]" of the world, be embarrassed and ashamed at this. You can offer no such reality.
Jesus Christ appeared among men so that through His Precious Blood you and I, "may be partakers of the divine nature"-- the most glorious news ever announced and offered to humanity. We are offered nothing less, and can there be anything "more?" This is the summation of all the promises of the Bible, the reason for the "gifts," the, "anointing," the fulfillment and purpose of, "the exceedingly great and precious promises." This is the reason you and I were born--- to partake, "of the divine nature." We lost, "the divine nature," in the Garden. We may receive, "the divine nature," in the Blood, Cross and resurrected Body of Jesus.
In this world of such deep sadness, confusion, and frustrated dreams, there are some who regret they were born. They would regret no longer if they just accepted that they were born, "that...you may be partakers of the divine nature."
Father, in Jesus' Name, what can I say to Your Word? I seem so far from this in my eyes, but may I not live in my eyes. Amen.
