The Purpose of God's Promises

Today's Verse is II Peter 1:4

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.

Our Salvation is not just redeeming us from the penalty from sin, but, even while it does that our God begins to work in us, so that we no longer are slaved to our drives and selfish desires, but have the power to follow him in righteousness. Let us, therefore, rejoice and surrender ourselves to His guidance, walking with Him through the troubles about us, knowing that He loves us and is seeking to conform us into the image of His Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.

To God Be the Glory
Scott
