God's divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness. His precious and magnificent promises-for the purpose of partaking of the divine nature. Notice that the purpose is for us to partake of God's divine nature-not just to have wishes granted, or needs met. And notice too what Peter tells us-the corruption of this world is brought about by lust, by wrong and evil and misplaced desires. You look around you at the political scene, you look at the schools, you look at the crime statistics-lust is behind all of what is wrong with society.
Idolatry is also behind all of it.
To have the Holy Spirit living inside you, directing you, teaching you, guiding you, comforting you, building you up in faith, building you up in His love. That is having Jesus live inside you. Think about it. All Rights Reserved.
