PARTAKERS OF THE DIVINE NATURE / PART 9
A TRIUMPHANT ADMISSION INTO THE ETERNAL KINGDOM
-2ND Peter 1:11 ( The New Testament In Modern Speech ) states, … And so a triumphant admission
into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be freely granted to you …
-The message of God has always been … THE KINGDOM OF GOD. To partake of God’s divine nature is to
partake of God’s Kingdom. The working of God’s nature within us is at the very heart of the true meaning of what
His Kingdom is to accomplish. His Kingdom, which is within us, is His rule and reign within our hearts and lives. That which
is to rule and reign in us is HIS DIVINE NATURE! In times past we have all been ruled by our fallen nature, but now, through
the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ, we have been introduced to a NEW NATURE. This new nature comes in with the Holy Ghost
and fire. Its purpose is to burn up our old nature, which is to be characterized as wood, hay, and stubble. In essence
( spiritually speaking ), we are going from wood, hay, and stubble to gold, silver, and precious stones. Gold ( in the scriptures
) is always a symbol of DEITY, DIVINITY, OR THAT WHICH IS GOD-LIKE. Since God’s Kingdom is the Kingdom that is within
us, we can now see what it is that causes His Kingdom to grow and flourish from within. IT IS HIS DIVINE NATURE THAT IS AT
WORK INSIDE OF US! As His nature becomes our nature, and His power becomes our power, we are sure to find ourselves triumphantly
entering into the eternal Kingdom ( the Kingdom of the ages ).
-God’s purpose for His creation is that His Kingdom would fill ALL THINGS. Those who press into the Kingdom
will no doubt become like their King, understanding that it is their King’s nature which enables them to be conformed
to His image. Without God’s divine nature being stamped into the soulish part of man, there is no way to be given an
admission into the eternal Kingdom. This leads us to the conclusion that God’s goal for the human race is to triumphantly
enter into His Kingdom. His divine nature is simply the means by which we will achieve this goal. Not only will we achieve
this goal, but we will become like Him in the process. We will become one with our Father. How could we not become like Him?
We are partaking of …
-HIS NATURE!-
