" Our Spiritual Inheritance "

Pin It

3.) His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining
to life and godliness.

4.) For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent
promises, so that by them you may be partakers of the divine nature,
having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.

                                                                                                          2 Peter 1:3-4 (NASB)



When we have come to know the true God, both our bodies and souls will become
immortal and incorruptible.
We will enter the kingdom of heaven, because while we lived on earth we have 'acknowledged
heavens King'.
As friends of God and coheirs of Christ, 'we will not be controlled by evil desires or tendencies',
nor by any sickness of 'body or soul', because we have become divine.

You may suffer evil as a person, and God allows it because of your humanity;
however, God has promised you a share in 'every one of His attributes'when
you have become deified.

The saying 'know yourself' means that we should recognize and acknowledge the
image in which God has created us, for if we do this, we will in turn be recognized
and acknowledged by our maker.

God showed His love for us in the beginning when He fashioned us in His own image.
If we learn to  'obey' His holy commands and learn to 'imitate' His goodness, we will
be like Him and He will in turn honor us.
God is NOT SELFISH, and has given us a share in His divinity for the sake of His own glory.

God has provided us with such an honor, yet it is completely up to YOU as a person
to take share in your part of His Image by obeying and conforming your life and behavior
into direct obedience to His commands.

God has given us everything we will ever need in the Holy Spirit, we need only to
listen and to obey each and every command.
Search yourself daily that you might come to 'KNOW YOURSELF'.


Read 2 Peter 1:1-14, for yourself and apply its teaching to your own life.
You will in turn inherit the Kingdom of God and His holiness.
