ABUNDANT LIFE

II Peter 1: 3,4
According as His Divine Power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue; by which are given unto us exceedingly great and precious promises, that by these ye might be partakers of the Divine Nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

DIVINE POWER; DIVINE NATURE

By Divine Power all things necessary for life and godliness have been given to us through JESUS Christ. Among these are: Glory, virtue, all promises and Divine Nature. What is the Divine Nature? The Divine Nature is to give and give and give out of love. John 3:16 says: "For GOD so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life." The Divine Nature is to give out of great love.

In II Peter 1:5-3 there is a list of things which we are to be diligent in cultivating: Faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness and love. Verse 8 sums this up by saying, "If these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our LORD JESUS Christ."

The abundant life is not just about us being able to abound and prosper; it is about being fruitful. The Divine Power gives to us all that is necessary for life and salvation so that we, in turn, can bring the souls we touch to JESUS so that they, too, will be partakers of the Divine Nature, through JESUS. 

What a wonderful world this would be if all people would, be partakers of the Divine Nature and give love to this world and all who live in it. Through JESUS Christ it is possible.

ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST
