Can you believe that God calls us and positions us to be "partakers of the divine nature"?

Try it in the NIV version (bold for emphasis):

2 Peter 1:3 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

Wow! God did that!

Declare His victory in your life and confess what He has promised. Walk in it and, as Peter goes on to write, "be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble".

Great are the promises of God and, as our Pastor says, "they come in seed form. Grow them from the inside out".

Nurture them by faith, and cultivate them with your words and behavior.

What you believe affects your behavior, and what you DO matters!
