For Tuesday, July 23, 2024:
2 Peter 1:4 NLT: “Because of his glory and excellence, he (God) has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.”
We’ve been looking at “Faith,” the unshakable belief in the testimony of an eyewitness. Jesus himself taught Peter about the promises of God, the promises of life after this life for true believers.
Believers are not only given a ticket to heaven. We are invited to “share his divine nature.” In other words, we’re then adopted into the Holy Family, brothers and sisters with all the rights and privileges of any son or daughter of the most high! When Jesus rescued us, he didn’t do it half-way! And when Jesus went ahead to prepare an eternal place for us, it’s a special place!
So leave the world behind. The world is no big deal, and it’s for such a short time vs eternity in the Lord’s presence. God promised believers redemption from the sins of the world, and when God makes a promise, we can count on it!
