God has already given His children everything we need to live a holy life in fellowship with Him (2Pe 1:3a) by revealing Himself so we may know Him. (3b) When we internalize and walk in His amazing promises, He enables us to partake of and enjoy His divine nature. (4)
For example, God promises to always be with us, to never leave us nor forsake us (De 31:6, He 13:5), so we may partake of and enjoy God’s divine nature by living more like Jesus — boldly, knowing God is our helper, without fearing others or what our future might bring. (6)
God promises to instruct us and teach us how to live, and to guide us along the way (Ps 32:8), so we may partake of and enjoy God’s divine nature by being confident He is achieving His purpose for our lives as we live for Him. (Php 1:6)
As our shepherd He promises to meet our needs (Ps 23:1), so we may partake of and enjoy God’s divine nature by seeking His kingdom and righteousness as our top priority without being overly concerned about basic provision (Mt 6:33-34); He will meet all of our needs. (Php 4:19)
God promises to lead us in the way of righteousness for His own glory (Ps 23:3), so we may partake of and enjoy God’s divine nature by being confident He will sanctify us (1Th 5:23-24), deliver us from the power of sin and present us faultless before His presence with immense joy. (Ju 24)
As we separate ourselves from the evil of this world and pursue Him (2Co 6:17), God promises to dwell in us and walk in us (Le 26:11-12, 2Co 6:16), so we may partake of and enjoy God’s divine nature by continually acknowledging His immediate presence with us every moment of our lives. (Ep 4:6)
God promises His goodness and mercy will follow us every single day (Ps 23:6a), so we may partake of and enjoy God’s divine nature by knowing nothing will ever separate us from His love. (Ro 8:38-39) No matter what happens to us, we will be victorious. (37)
In having such amazing promises we may partake of and enjoy God’s divine nature by cleansing ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. (2Co 7:1) This is exactly what all of God’s children do. (2Ti 2:19, He 12:14)
