Plugging into your Divine Nature



20131028_000827.jpg
Human beings are divine in their nature. This is what the Bible says, and this is what Jesus and the disciples taught. How else can we understand the words of Jesus when he said to the people "Is it not written in your Law, "I said you are gods"... he called them gods to whom the word of God came - and scripture cannot be broken..." (John 10: 34-35 ESV) Also, Peter said, "through them (the promises of God) you may become partakers of the Divine Nature... " (2 peter 1: 4 ESV) and again John, the Pastor, says: "Because as He is, so also are we in this world" (1 John 4: 17 ESV).

These are just a few verse that prove that there is a divine nature in humans, who were created in the image of God, and who, through sinning, we blinded of their true divine nature and potential that they have in connection and unity with God.

The good news that the Gospel presents is this: "the Kingdom of God is near". but where is it? How near? what is the kingdom of God?

The kingdom of God is the rule of God in the human spirit, and the good news is that the realization of our divinity will bring the Kingdom of God into our lives, and we will grow into spiritual maturity, as we understand that Jesus Christ is our Divine big brother, who is our example to grow into God, and become gods, extracting our divine nature from the internal revelation of our nature.

Yes, we are gods, a little less than "Elohim", the creator, and we receive our divinity from the spiritual connection, called in the Bible "the second birth" that Jesus explained in John 3.
As you start your relationship with God, His very nature will start flowing through you and, as a result, His loving nature, His Kindness, mercy and care will show in your everyday life.

Confession: 
I am a child of God, carrying His nature. I can grasp out of His love inside on me, and show it to the world around me.
Amen.
