2 Peter 1:4 Partakers of the divine nature.
The greatest blessing in the universe is that we can partake of God’s nature. The Christian life is a life of enjoying the divine nature. We are partaking of the divine elements of God’s being. A partaker of the divine nature is one who enjoys and participates in the divine nature. If we would be partakers of the divine nature, we need to live by the divine life within which is the divine nature (John 1:4; 10:10; 11:25; 6:57b). We live the divine life by God’s promises. In order that we may enjoy all that He is, God will do many things for us according to His promises. We need to live by the divine life so that we may be partakers of the divine nature. Although we received the divine life at the time we believed, the divine nature must be continually enjoyed by us. This enjoyment requires the grace of God. God’s sufficient grace will work within us day by day so that we may enjoy the divine nature. The more we enjoy the divine nature, the more we have His virtue, and the more we are brought into His glory. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, Msgs. 388-403, by Witness Lee)
