Partakers of the divine nature.

     Seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.
     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.

     2 Peter 1:3-4 NASB

     We read this scripture portion and give mental assent to it. We believe in our minds that God can give us everything we need to live godly lives. We know He has promised us many wonderful things. Many of us would agree that through Christ, we become partakers of His divine nature.
     What if we actually took this to heart, and actually lived as though we believed it? What a difference we would see in our lives! We would see victory over temptation, we would see habitual sins broken, we would see power in our witness, we would see a Church that is no longer worldly, but Christ like!
     Our faith is only as good as we are willing to step out in it! Take God at His word and live it.
