2 Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; 3 seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. 4 For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.
Let’s look at these verses as it should have been translated from the original. It really helps to gain insight into what the Holy Spirit is trying to say.
“Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; seeing that His divine power has completely granted as a free gift, that is continually operative in your lives, everything that pertains to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us to His own glory and virtues. Through which things (His own glory and virtues) are granted to us a precious and magnificent promise, that by them (His own glory and virtues) you might become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.”
These are such encouraging verses, because they tell us that God is called us to experience Jesus’s and glory and virtues. It doesn’t say He called us BY His glory and virtues, instead it says we are called into His very own glory and His virtues being manifested in our lives. It is because his manifest presence, or glory, and his character, that is His virtues, are operating in our lives that we are experientially partaking of his divine nature. When you are experiencing His divine nature being realized in your life, and all the glory and Christlike virtues that come with it, it can truly be said about you that you have everything, everyday, necessary to face life in a godly way. In other words His divine nature released and realized in you daily, results in you living a victorious life, as a supernatural overcomer, in all the details of life, both big and small.
