Message: According to God's power, He has given us ALL things that pertain to life and Godliness. If THESE things abide in you, they make make you neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of Christ. Peter tried really hard to be that guy, but he was the guy who cut a man in anger, rebuked Jesus, and denied him thrice. What does your life in Christ look like? Sin can be perplexing in its difficulty, but we know God is able t do miraculous thing in us; participation in the divine nature means that we must depend on the divine power. The divine nature of God is represented, but not limited to these attributes; infinite, immutable, self-sufficient/sovereign, omni-potent, omniscient, omni-present, and wise. God desires each of these for us; through the divine nature He places within us. If we were to give notable guidance in walking out divine power power, the strong key points are to have diligence; virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, Godliness, brotherly kindness, and charity; love. God so wants to be exercised and expressed. To be let out, not corrupted by this world and the flesh. The nature of His divine power, is who you’re called to be. Let His power have its perfect work in you.
Scripture: 2 Peter 1:3-8 "as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 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. But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." - NKJV
