The God Kind of Life

“According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:”                      
2 Peter 1:3(KJV)

Our opening scripture lets us know that God's divine power has given us all things that pertain unto life and godliness. The word life here is from the Greek word, 'zoe' referring to the life and nature of God. Therefore it means that God has given us everything we need to live the God-life.

So Christianity is God bringing man into His realm. This means that everything we need as Christians to live the God-kind of life has been given to us by His power. So as a child of God you can live the God-life on earth.  

1 John 1:2 says, “(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)” This scripture reveals to us that Jesus is zoe in manifestation; because zoe is the life and nature of God.

The only person who demonstrated the life and nature of God first before anyone else is Jesus. He was the life and nature of God manifested. So if God has given us all things that pertain unto life, it means that God expects us to live the Jesus kind of life in the here and now by His power at work in us.

Therefore as a child of God you have been given the capacity to handle your job, your spouse, your children, and all that you do in the way Jesus will handle it.

CONFESSION
In the Name of Jesus I declare that I have the gift of eternal life in me. My whole being is dominated by the life and nature of God. I have all I need to live the God life and to experience victory in every area of my life because Christ is my life. Amen.
