2 Peter 1:4 Having Escaped the Corruption

2 Peter 1:4 (KJV)  Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 

There is deliverance and escape for the people of God from the corruption that is in this world through the blood of Christ which cleanses us of all sins.

The fallen man has an inordinate desire for sin but when the Spirit of God comes and indwells, renews the man in Christ, transforming him to conform to the image of Christ. He partakes in God’s nature through the Holy Spirit’s help.

The new man takes hold of the promises of God, living by the Word, finding joy and peace, escaping the pitfalls of sin, and taking hold of the wisdom of God in victorious living. Amen.
