The Divine Nature

Man was made to live in the presence of God, but through the disobedience of Adam, mankind was removed from the presence of God. Jesus Christ came to restore us to the presence of God. Jesus Christ Himself, became the first man to be born again into the Kingdom of God. He came to redeem us and to show us the way so that if we would follow Him, then we can be restored to the presence of God as sons of God. He is the first born among many sons of God.
Jesus gives the divine nature to those who repent from their earthly nature, from their earthly existence and set themselves aside and apart, unto Him, those who follow Him. He gives them the divine nature and through their close relationship with Him, they are nurtured and taught to become full mature sons of God. It is only through a close relationship with Jesus, through the Holy Spirit, that He sent to guide us, to teach us and to coach us, that we grow into maturity, become sons of God, like Jesus Himself. If we want to share in His glory we must walk like Jesus walked. We must grow in this new birth, this divine nature until we are mature sons of God.
Not many are willing to do that. Not many are willing to live in the presence of God. Not many are willing to follow Jesus Christ and be restored to the presence of God. If you walk with Jesus, He gives you the mind of Christ, you are transformed, your mind is transformed and you follow Jesus, and obey Him like He obeyed the Father. If you endure until the end you will be a son of God. Dear friend, are you willing to accept that wonderful invitation, because those who share in His suffering, those who walk with Him, will also share in His glory.
May Jesus bless you.
