2 Peter 1:3-4 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and [what?] {godliness}, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue [is “power”]: [By His own] Whereby [by his own, which] are given unto us exceeding great and precious [what?] promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption [that’s] in the world through lust.

Partakers of what? Divine nature. Partakers of divine nature. Why? Because God so loved that He gave. You confessed with your mouth the Lord Jesus, believed God raised him from the dead, at that moment it is God in Christ in you, the hope of glory. The fullness of God, a divine nature, a new nature within you, a spiritual man. Tremendous power in it.

That’s how we got justification instead of separation; Redemption instead of Old Testament atonement; Remission of sins instead of a scapegoat; The new birth instead of circumcision; Sons instead of servants; Righteousness instead of condemnation; Life, my people, instead of death.

At Pentecost God started getting a household by birth instead of an individual or instead of a nation. And you and I are like little fledglings in a love(agape) nest in the heart of God.
