2 Peter 1:4 (NASB)
For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.
Faith in the promises of God. We are called to faith. For the just shall live by faith.
These promises of God are for all that would choose to lay hold of them.
The Divine Nature come to birth in the believer is what salvation is. For Jesus said; “you must be born again”. This new birth is the Divine Nature come to birth in the believing heart. It is this Divine Nature growing and manifesting itself is what Christian growth is. This growth of this new life in us is brought forth by the believers faith and their willingness to yield themselves to it.
“For to whom you yield yourself to him are you servants of.”
It is in the yielding to this new nature that causes this new nature to grow in us. As a regenerated person there are now two natures in us the old and the new. Whichsoever one we choose to obey the fruit of that nature will manifest itself. Sin unto death or righteousness unto life. Christ or self is the constant choice set before man.
Scripture says;
“the will is present with me”
It is the will that would be willing to believe these exceedingly great and precious promises.
“I will cause you to walk in my statutes”
“I will put a new heart in you”
“He will perfect that which concerns you”
So many promises of God for those for whom Christ died.
It is the Divine Nature coming to rule the life that is that that overcomes the world, the flesh and the devil.
All things that man would and needs to be saved from are the fruit of these great and precious promises.
Oh the joy, the peace, the security, the hope the heart has when in child like trust, it turns to the one Who died that that soul might have life and life so abundantly.
Blessings to all that would be willing to grab unto these great and exceeding precious promises and prove the truth of them.
Blessings,
Much love in Christ, Not me
