“Partakers”
Blessings folk!
God’s Divine Power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness.
All things!
Selah! Think on that!
As true Believers we lack nothing from the Lord.
He has granted through His knowledge.
Now, read the full sentence…
2 Pe 1:3-4
His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness,
through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence,
by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises,
so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature,
having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.
ESV
“Granted” means to “present, bestow, give gratuitously”.
Look at what else He “granted”.
His precious and very great promises
To become partakers of the divine nature
Escape from the corruption of the world because of sinful desire
We are partakers of the divine nature…now and then.
We are called “saints” now.
We are no longer “sinners”, rather “holy ones”.
Does this mean we never sin?
No.
But it does mean that we sin simply because we choose to, not because of who we are.
Think on that.
We have escaped the corruption of the world.
We have been set free of sinful desires.
If we choose to abide and walk in the Lord…
