“For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.” -2 Peter 1:4 (NASB)
We have entered our fifth year of taking a brief moment to consider God’s promises to us. God’s promises all come to us from His promise of abundant and eternal life. It is God’s grace and peace multiplied to us and the precious promises given us by God that results in our being adopted as sons and becoming true children of God. We do not become ‘little gods’ but we do become ‘new creatures,’ through our re-birth in the Spirit. We have received from God eternal life as a gift and so we possess a share of His nature which He has given to us. This promise is also our way of escape from the corruption of our old nature. If we have made some serious New Year’s Eve resolutions regarding our way of living which are honoring to God, and if we really want to stick to them, God’s promises are here for us for that very purpose. Let's resolve together to learn and hold on to all that God has promised every day.
