By which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust (2 Peter 1:4 NKJV)
When a Christian truly comprehends that he or she has the divine life and nature of God, that individual will act like God and will experience abundant life. His love, His nature, and his ability are mine as I reign in life by one Jesus Christ.
The nature of a hog is to wallow in mud. Before you made Jesus your Lord, you had a sinful nature that came with a tendency for sin and immoral desires. The nature of a man who is not a born again Christian is to act like the devil. However, when you were born again, you were given a completely new and divine nature. Oh, Thank God I am born again. I am a new Creation in Christ; a brand new man.
The nature of a Christian is to love. Believers were first called Christians at Antioch. They were called Christians because they acted like Jesus Christ. Jesus Said, “By this shall all men know that you are my disciples because you love one another.
When you start hanging out with God. His nature will rub off on you. Your nature will be “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.”
I am going to give you the best advice that I have ever given you. Hang out with Christians. Stay away from fools. If you hang out with a fool long enough, you will be a fool. Birds of a feather flock together. Some of you reading this blog need to get new friends. You will not experience God’s best until you do.
All creatures act in accordance with their nature. The choice is yours to believe you have this nature and to act on it or listen to the devil who will tell you that you are a sinner. If you are born again, you are not a sinner. You are a saint. The Bible calls all Christians saints.
Confession: I have the life and nature of God. I am a new creation I am a brand new man. Old things have passed away. I am born again.
May God Richest and best be yours,
Lanier Martin
