The promises of God for His glory and goodness are the foundation for Divine Power in your life. That’s what Peter said, but why?
“His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.” (2 Peter v 3-4)
The only reason why we desire Divine Power should be that we participate in, we possess, we sound like, we look like and we have … the divine nature. This is the ultimate goal surely for anyone behind the pulpit or sat in the pew! We want to be more like Jesus. We desire a godly life.
God’s promises are ultimately for His glory to be seen and His goodness to be displayed in and through our lives in order not for our own desires to be accomplished but that we have His divine nature.
Be careful what you reach for.
