Your divine image.

Your divine linage.

“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

God has given us all things that pertain unto zoe; the God kind of life. This means that everything that God has in His nature and every virtue in Him is in you because His life is in you. This means that whatever is revealed through Jesus who is the life of God manifested according to 1 John 1:2 can also be revealed through you.

Just as science lets you know that by reason of your natural birth, you inherited a lot of things from your parents, in the same way by reason of the new birth in Christ when you got born again, all the capabilities of Christ was inherited by you. You do not need to work for it; it is already in you now by reason of the new birth. So, whatever is not in Christ is not in you. Whatever cannot oppress Christ cannot oppress you.

John 1:12-13(AMP) say, “But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name Who owe their birth neither to bloods nor to the will of the flesh [that of physical impulse] nor to the will of man [that of a natural father], but to God. [They are born of God!]”

Confession.
According to my faith in Jesus Christ, I declare that I am an offspring of God. I am born of God, not of blood, nor of the will of man, nor of the will of the flesh. I am a partaker of the divine nature. Amen.

For further study, read:
Ephesians 4:23-24, Colossians 3:10-11, 1 John 3:2.
