Partakers of the Divine Nature.wav
This podcast explores the profound Christian belief that believers are destined to become "partakers of the divine nature," essentially becoming part of God's own family, similar to heavenly beings. The author highlights that this was God's original plan from Eden, interrupted by the fall, but now restored through Jesus Christ, who redeemed not only the descendants of Abraham but also the Gentiles, bringing them into God's family through adoption. This destiny of being conformed to Christ's image and achieving immortality is not something earned, but a gift of grace, leading to gratitude and a desire to share this incredible truth with others.
