Partaking of the Divine Nature: Supplements

The supplements for partaking of this divine nature that Peter talks about in 2 Peter 1:3 are: faith with virtue; Virtue with knowledge; Knowledge with self control; Self control with steadfastness; Steadfastness with godliness; Godliness with brotherly affection; Brotherly affection with love.

These qualities help live a life partaking of the divine nature. These are the desires of a transformed heart. Only God’s infinite power can accomplish salvation, not human will. Only God can provide us the chance to “partake” of this divine nature. Through the divine nature, we can become increasingly like Him, but not part of Him.
