2 Chronicles 20:20

 …Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

[Glen McCluskey]

Humanity alone is a very poor combination of opposites.  Naturally, human beings are self-centered and opinionated.  But selfishness disappears from the lives of those who learn the lessons that Christ desires to teach them.  They become partakers of the divine nature, and Christ lives in them.  They regard all men as brethren, with similar aspirations, capacities, temptations, and trials, craving sympathy and needing assistance.  {ST, May 11, 1904 par. 4}

[rahab]

O my Saviour, Thou who hast shown compassion to us all, again we ask Thee to grant unto us a rich portion of Thy mercy, Thy fulness, Thy compassion, Thy everlasting love.  Come, Lord Jesus, and make us partakers of Thy divine nature, that we may overcome the corruption that is in the world through lust.  Oh, may the Spirit of Christ, the love of God, comfort every heart this morning!  Banish darkness, turn away the deceptive powers of the enemy, and let Thy voice and Thy Spirit and Thy love come into our souls, that we may sit together in heavenly places with Christ Jesus; and Thy name shall have all the glory.  Amen.  {GCB, April 2, 1903 par. 11} 

[Richard Myers]

Amen Brother Glen! Jesus is even at the doors and opening the eyes of the sleeping saints.

“The prince of this world cometh,” said Jesus, “and hath nothing in Me.” John 14:30. There was in Him nothing that responded to Satan’s sophistry. He did not consent to sin. Not even by a thought did He yield to temptation. So it may be with us. Christ’s humanity was united with divinity; He was fitted for the conflict by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. And He came to make us partakers of the divine nature. So long as we are united to Him by faith, sin has no more dominion over us. God reaches for the hand of faith in us to direct it to lay fast hold upon the divinity of Christ, that we may attain to perfection of character.  DA 123.
