TEXT: "Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust."-2 Peter 1:4

The divine nature is the usual way God behaves that is part of his character. It is also referred to as Godkind.

In the beginning, God created man in his own image and likeness, man received the divine nature, Genesis 1:26-28. And with the divine nature, man was expected to be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth. Man was also expected, not only to rule the whole earth, but to rule the whole world.

God formed Adam and put him in the garden of Eden; the paradise of God, Revelation 2:7. A type of the great city, the holy Jerusalem, Revelation 21:10. And God commanded Adam to eat of every tree of the garden, but not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the midst of the garden: for in the day that he eats from it, he shall surely die, Genesis 2:16, 17.

And as long as Adam obeyed God's command, he remained in the divine nature. But sadly, he lost the divine nature when he sinned. This is because, he ate from the tree, Genesis 3:11-24. A new nature was introduced by Adam: the human nature without God. Adam gave birth to his kind, instead of Godkind. He gave birth to Seth in his own image and likeness, instead of God's image and likeness, Genesis 5:3-5. Man continued in the human nature without God until the time of Jesus Christ.

When Jesus was born, he also had the human nature, Hebrews 2:16. But, Jesus had the human nature of Adam before, and not after, his transgression, because he was sinless. However, after Jesus' death and resurrection, he had a new nature: the divine nature of God. A nature that will never die, and will live forevermore, Revelation 1:14-18. And with this nature, Jesus is or was able to rule all the nations of the earth with a rod of iron, Revelation 12:5; 20:4-7.

Today, Jesus alone has this divine nature. While man still struggles with the depraved human nature. That is the reason the war between the Spirit and the flesh is still on, Galatians 5:16-18. And man is still experiencing death, Romans 8:12-14. But, thank God, we have the victory in Christ Jesus.

Nevertheless, the divine nature has been promised us, 2 Peter 1:4. And we shall begin to partake in this divine nature, in the year 2093, when the Church of Jesus Christ will give birth to a man child, who shall be called the grandSon of God. And when this Son of God will be forty years old, in the year 2133, he shall be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth with Sons and Daughters of God. Children that will have the divine nature of God.

Consequently, these Sons and Daughters shall be like God, Jesus Christ; they shall never die; they shall live forevermore; and they shall be sinless, because God's seed shall be in them, 1 John 3:9. And also this grandSon of God shall begin his kingdom reign in the same year 2133. Thus fulfilling the promise of the divine nature by God to man. But, until that time, we should keep living by faith in Jesus Christ, and in obedience to his commandments. Shalom!

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
