[2 Peter 1:4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.]

The Apostle Peter in this verse reveals the peak of the Christian faith – we should transform and become partakers of the Divine Nature of God! This is big. Many believers have reduced Christianity to mere religion – going to church, asking God for this and that, trying not to do bad things and that’s all. The Apostle Peter reveals Christianity is bigger than that. GOD’S plan is that we should become partakers of His own divine nature which simply means we should be like God. Religion will call this blasphemy, that is why many believers are living at the human level, suffering like everyone else. Remember, God created mankind to be like Himself (Genesis 1:26). So Adam had the divine nature of God. Through Adamic rebellion, mankind lost this divine nature of God. Through obedience, Our Lord Jesus Christ has restored this divine nature to us. So from God’s perspective, we already have His divine nature through Christ. So He says be ye holy as He is holy. Why? Because He has given us His nature of holiness. He wants us to live like Him because He has given us His divine nature. For us to live the divine nature we have to let go of the sinful human nature. If we hold on to the human nature, we will suffer like everyone else. That is why many in the Church are depressed, just like in the world. Many are struggling with sin Just like the world. Peter tells us we must let go of the human nature and become partakers of the divine nature and escape the corruption, perversion and lust in the world. If you live at human level, you will always struggle. So study this subject and be deliberate & commited to absolute transformation.
