The Way Of Escape
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness 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 and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
The way to escape the corruption of this world is to participate in the divine nature. If you don’t actively involve yourself in the life Jesus offers you will be enslaved to the sinful patterns of this world. There’s no 3rd option. This is salvation! Jesus came to set the captives free and to provide abundant life.Participating in the divine nature does not come through rule-keeping or harsh treatment of the body. Participating in the divine nature comes through the “very great and precious promises” of God. These promises are discovered through our knowledge of Him and His glory and goodness. Knowing God and embracing His promises for me is how I participate in the divine and escape the corruption of this world. Give me one pure and holy passion
Give me on magnificent obsession
Give me one glorious ambition for my life
To know and follow hard after You To know and follow hard after You
To be known as Your disciple in the truth
This world is empty, pale and poor compared to knowing You, my Lord
Lead me on and I will run after You
2 Peter 1:3-4
