Scripture:
“And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.” 2 Peter 1:4 NLT
Observation:
This verse tells us that God has given us some great and precious promises that enable us to share in his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption because of human desires. This lets us know that when we are born again, we receive a new nature, the nature of Christ.
Application:
We have to live out of our new nature and not our old nature. God has given us great and precious promises. These are available to us, but we must walk in our new nature and not be controlled by our old nature. Fortunately, God has given us everything we need to accomplish His will for our lives. Our job is to follow the Lord and do what the Holy Spirit speaks to us.
Prayer:
Father, I want to please You in this life more than anything else. I want my life to be used for Your glory. Help me to live out the promises You have given us. Teach me not to give in to the flesh, but to follow You completely and passionately. Teach me Your ways and guide my steps. Let my life bring You honor and praise. Let me live out of my divine nature and not my old nature. Make me more like You.
Yours,
Jeff
