2Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 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.

He gave us something according to His divine power.  He gave us all things that pertain to life and godliness.  It’s already been done.  But taking possession of it depends on our knowledge of Him.

You see He called you by glory (Intimate relationship and unity) and virtue (His own works of righteousness imputing to you) and it is because if His doing this that exceedingly great and precious promises are yours.

By receiving all the exceedingly great and precious promises  promises you are made a partaker of His divine nature.  It is by partaking in His divine nature through this means provided that you are empowered and liberated to escape the corruption that is in the world through lust.

You see when you partake of His divine nature you develop a spiritual appetite unlike anything this world could ever offer.  This is describing the new life you have in Jesus and the wonderful way in which it works in you.

Why would anyone want to live like a spiritual beggar when Scripture clearly reveals we already have what we need in abundance through Christ?  I encourage you today to go live in the abundant life you have been given in Christ Jesus.

Let the overflow of the Holy Spirit flow out of you like a torrent river just as Jesus promised.  You have an abundant river of life within you that flows from you.  Such as you have you can give to others.  You are the temple of the Holy Spirit now that you are a New Creation in Christ and that means everything that is life and health, and purpose is filling you.

You have not been left on your own to survive.  You’ve been given abundance to thrive!
