“And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.”
Acts 20:32(KJV)
Having an accurate, precise and concise knowledge of the word of God is the key to enjoying our inheritance in Christ. As we receive knowledge of the word of God, we are continuously been built by the word which delivers our inheritance in Christ to us..
The Bible says in 2 Peter 1:4, “… he has given us his precious and wonderful promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature …” This lets us know that through the knowledge of His wonderful promises which are revealed to us in the word of God, we are able to actively share and have fellowship in divinity.
In other words, we are able to participate in divinity through clear knowledge of the word of God. For instance, it is from the word of God that we are able to know that when we believed in Jesus Christ, we became sons of God (John 1:12-13). If we are sons of God it therefore means that His nature is in us. That means at the new birth, we became partakers of the divine nature because we were born of God.
I John 3:1-3 says to us, “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God,and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.”
Therefore, go for the word of God because it is Biblical, scriptural, word-based revelation that will usher us into the fullness of what God has for us.
CONFESSION
Father, I rejoice over your word because your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. By acting on your word, I have escaped the corruption that is in this world by been a partaker of the divine nature. The word is building me up and delivering my inheritance to me.
For further study read:
Job 23:12, Psalm 119:105, Jeremiah 15:16, John15:7,
Colossians 3:16.
