"His Voice Today"
February 28
🔸️ The Divinely blossoming is the Golden Life! 🔸️
From the point of falling, we have to go through two stages in order to achieve the divine nature. 1) Firstly, we need to receive the grace to overcome sin (Romans 6:14). But at this point, we still need to fight for Godly traits such as loving our enemies and bless those who cursed us. 'Now' by the power of grace, we only get the victory and are living. Thus, if we are faithful in all our trials, then only we can enter into the second stage!
2) At the time of trials, the flesh that was continuously crucified at the Cross, eventually dies! (For a particular sin). Yes, this is where the work of participating in the divine nature begins! We no longer need to 'fight' here and so we are entering into complete rest!
Now, we can taste the pure “natural” spirit of pure thinking, loving an enemy, and blessing those who curse! See, our hope is this!! Yes, we can have the nature of God!! There is no need for God to struggle with... to love the enemy, not to worry and to have the pure thinking! We are called to inherit this His same nature!
"..... We have been given great promises and precious promises to be the partakers of the divine nature." (2 Peter 1:4). This calling is amazing! Like Paul, let us forget about the past and behind .... In the remaining days, let us continue to aspire to the goal in order to attain the glory of Jesus Christ!!
Prayer:
Heavenly Master! Thank you for the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ that has paved the way to partake your "Divine nature"! In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
