What if I told you that there's a Bible verse that could transform your life? 2 Peter 1:4 feels almost too good to be true. So we just read over it, sigh and think, I wish that were true in my life. And we read on to verses that we actually believe.
But it is true and it can free you from temptation and sin. Today I want to release the power of 2 Peter 1:4 in your life. 2 Peter 1:4 says, and because of his glory and excellence, He, God has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world's corruption caused by human desires.
Does this verse really say that God's promises enable you to share God's nature? His divine nature and God's promises enable you to escape ungodly desires and sin? How does this happen? How do we receive the nature of God? And how does God's nature replace our corrupt human nature, our sin nature?
The astounding answer is through the great and precious promises of a God. Faith activates God's promise. It's a lot like plugging in appliances into the electrical outlet. Faith is the connection point. Faith plugs us into the powerful, life changing promises in the word of God. God's promises empower us to resist sin and live in victory.
