All believers in Christ will be enjoying eternal life in eternity, for the riches of eternal life will be ours for our enjoyment in the New Jerusalem; today we enjoy the life of God with the divine nature, for we are partakers of the divine nature and enjoy the riches of God’s being to become the same as Christ and express Him! Amen!
Lord Jesus, thank You and praise You for dispensing Your life into us. We open to You today. We want to enjoy Your life flowing in us and moving in us today. Grow in us. We want to live by Your life. We take You as our life and everything. Amen, Lord, may we enjoy God and partake of the riches of His being so that we may be constituted with the divine nature and become the same as Christ for His expression! Lord Jesus, make us the best partakers of the divine nature! Amen!
Thank the Lord that He has given us His life, the eternal life of God, when we believed into Christ.
It is amazing to realise that we human beings were regenerated by God with His life and nature to be children of God, and simply by believing into Christ, we have eternal life! How wonderful!
Now in our Christian life we are learning to live by this life and we cooperate with the Lord for Him to grow in us as life.
We are partakers of the divine nature, which is in the divine life, and we cooperate with the Lord to develop the virtues in the divine nature so that we may have a rich entrance into the kingdom of God.
We want to be the Lord’s overcomers today, so that we may also obtain eternal life in the coming age.
In the next age, the age of the kingdom, only the overcoming believers will enjoy eternal life as their reward.
If we today are willing to leave all things for the Lord’s sake and for the sake of the gospel, we will receive eternal life as a reward in the coming age.
If we today are faithful unto death, the Lord will give us the crown of life. We need to cooperate with the Lord in our daily living today.
If we today overcome, if we eat Christ as the tree of life today, He will give us to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.
He wants to give us life as a reward in the next age, but we need to cooperate with Him.
May we open to the Lord daily, deal with the things He shines on, repent and confess, and open to His living life flowing in us and moving in us. May we learn to live by His life today and may we grow in His life day by day.
All the Saved ones will Enjoy Eternal Life in Eternity – we will Enjoy the Blessings of Eternal Life in the New Jerusalem!
In this age, we obtain eternal life by believing into the Lord Jesus; as soon as we believe into Him and obtain His life, our names are written in the book of life (Rev. 3:5).
The life we receive is eternal life, and we will never perish (John 10:28). However, if we want to obtain eternal life as a reward in the coming age, we need to overcome today.
If we do not overcome today, our names will be temporarily erased from the book of life in the next age.
With regard to our eternal salvation, no saved person can perish; however, with respect to the reward of the millennial kingdom, only the overcoming believers will enjoy the blessing of having their names in the book of life in that age.
And for eternity, praise the Lord, we will enjoy eternal life freely as our portion!
All the saved ones will enjoy eternal life in eternity, for we will enjoy the blessings of eternal life in the New Jerusalem!
Today we drink the water of life, for the Lord gives us the water of life freely; this water becomes in us a fountain of water springing up into eternal life (John 4:14).
As we enjoy eternal life and live by the divine life today, as we deal with anything that hinders the flow of the divine life, the divine life flows in us, waters us, fills our whole being, and springs up into eternal life! Hallelujah!
We will enjoy the full blessing of God’s salvation in the New Jerusalem, for this is given to all the saved ones for their enjoyment in eternity!
All those who have the Lord’s eternal life and whose names are written in the book of life of the Lamb will participate in this eternal blessing of eternal life (Rev. 21:27).
All the saved ones will enjoy the blessings of eternal life in the New Jerusalem. One of these blessings will be the water of life (v. 6; 22:1).
For eternity we will drink the river of the water of life to be eternally supplied, refreshed, and strengthened to express God corporately. He will give us to drink from the spring of the water of life freely (Rev. 21:6).
Also, we will forever enjoy the tree of life growing on both sides of the river of water of life, and there will be new fruits each month (Rev. 22:14).
God’s ever-living life will be our eternal supply, causing us to never hunger or thirst.
Today we have a foretaste of this whenever we turn to the Lord in spirit and read prayerfully over His word. The Lord as the tree of life is in our spirit, and we can have a foretaste of the full taste of the blessings of eternal life today.
We can wake up in the morning and contact the Lord, pray to Him, and pray-read His word, and we can call on His name throughout the day to enjoy His riches.
May we daily enjoy eternal life and live by the eternal life. If we today live for the Lord by the power of the eternal life in our spirit, we will be His overcomers.
Then, during the coming kingdom age, we will be given to reign in life together with the Lord, we will enjoy the glory of life, and we will have a foretaste of the blessings of eternity! Hallelujah!
Finally, when eternity arrives, all those who have received God’s salvation and are regenerated by His life will enjoy the blessings of eternal life in the New Jerusalem for eternity.
What a glorious time that will be, seeing the Lord’s face, being shepherded by Him, being richly supplied by Him, and having life in abundance so that we may be His corporate expression, shining Him to the whole universe! Praise the Lord! Amen!
Lord Jesus, thank You for regenerating us with Your life. Hallelujah, we believers in Christ have eternal life, for Christ as life has come into us to be our life. Amen, Lord, we want to enjoy eternal life and live by it. We come to You again and again to drink of You as the fountain of life so that You may flow in our being and spring up into eternal life! Amen, Lord Jesus, flow in us! Grow in us as life. We want to live by Your life today so that, when the coming kingdom age comes, we may reign in life together with You to have a foretaste of the blessings of eternity! Oh Lord Jesus, we praise You that for eternity we will enjoy eternal life forever! Hallelujah, God in Christ as the Spirit is our portion to be our life for eternity! Amen, Lord, we are looking forward to enjoying the blessings of eternal life for eternity in the New Jerusalem! Keep us enjoying You today and living by Your life today! Flow in our whole being and saturate us with Your life! Make us Your overcoming saints today! Amen!
We are Partakers of the Divine Nature, we Develop the Divine Life and Nature, and we Enjoy God and Partake of the Riches of His being to become the Same as He is!
Every life has a nature; the divine life has the divine nature within it; we now have God’s life and God’s nature within us. Praise the Lord!
As those who have received equally precious faith, we, the believers in Christ, should be partakers of the divine nature (2 Pet. 1:4).
As human beings, we have the human life and the human nature, and we grow in life and develop the human nature.
Spiritually speaking, we were regenerated with God’s life and we have God’s nature, and we need to grow in life and develop the divine nature.
Wow, God is making His nature known to us, gradually going deeper and deeper in our being. He wants us to be partakers of the divine nature through the promises He has given to us.
What is the divine nature? What is the divine nature according to God’s word? The divine nature refers to what God is; the divine nature refers to the riches, the elements, and the constituents of God’s being (John 4:24; 1 John 1:5; 4:8, 16).
God is Spirit. God is love. God is light. The divine nature is what God is in His very nature.
The divine life and the divine nature are inseparable; the divine nature is the substance of the divine life and is within the divine life (1:1-2; 5:11-13).
We can testify that we not only have the divine life in us but also the divine nature. We enjoy God as Spirit, love, and light, and we have Him growing in us, developing within us, and constituting us with what He is.
At this very moment, the hidden God in Christ through the Spirit is dispensing Himself with His life and nature into every believer in Christ, seeking to go deeper into our being and even have access to the depths of our being.
We are not aware of this, but this takes place more and more. This is why we need to open our being to Him. The Triune God is in our spirit, and He wants to come and saturate our heart.
He wants to make His home in our heart so that His nature would become our nature and He may be expressed through us (Eph. 3:16-17). We need to open to the Lord, even open the depths of our being to Him.
In our relationship with Him, may we give Him access to every part of our being. We don’t know what is in us, what things are in us, and what lies in the depths of our being; however, we can open to Him and give Him access.
He knows what is in us, and He wants to make His home in us. There may be some feelings, some memories, and some imaginations; He wants to shepherd us and come into us to dispense what He is into us.
He is not after destroying us or tearing down what we are; He wants to have a loving relationship with us in which we open to Him and allow Him to remodel, rebuild, and reconstruct our inner being to match His inner being.
We need to experience the development of the divine life and the divine nature contained in the divine seed that has been sown in us so that we may have a rich entrance into the eternal kingdom (2 Pet. 1:1, 4-11).
As part of our personal relationship with the Lord, we need to open to Him and cooperate with Him so that His divine life and nature may be developed in us.
We want to have a rich entrance into the kingdom of God, so we cooperate with the Lord in this age.
We need to realise that we are children of God – we are God-men, born of God, possessing the life and nature of God, and belonging to the species of God (John 1:12-13).
This is who we are by our very nature; we are God-men, and we are partakers of the divine nature.
At our regeneration, another nature was imparted into us; this is the nature of God, the divine nature.
As believers in Christ, we are partakers of the divine nature. We are those who enjoy the divine nature and participate in the divine nature.
We enjoy and participate in the divine nature as we pray-read the word of God to be infused with the very nature and life of God.
If we enjoy God and partake of the riches of His being, we will be constituted with the divine nature, becoming the same as God in life and nature but not in the Godhead and expressing Him in all that we are and do. Hallelujah!
As we enjoy the Lord, as we open to Him in our personal relationship with Him, He grows in us, He constitutes us with Himself, and He is making us the same as He is, little by little.
We are becoming the same as Christ by being inwardly reconstituted with Him! His life is our life and His nature is our nature. We partake of His divine nature, and He makes us the same as He is for us to be His corporate expression!
Lord Jesus, we love You and we open to You. We open to You from the depths of our being. Come in, Lord, and have access to our inward parts. We give You the ground to work Yourself into us. Make Your home in our heart. House Yourself in us. We want to enjoy and partake of Your divine life and nature. Hallelujah, we are partakers of the divine nature through the promises in God’s word which we gladly pray-read! Amen, Lord, we want to cooperate with You today to develop the divine life and nature in our daily living so that we may have a rich entrance into the eternal kingdom! Hallelujah, we today can partake of God’s life and nature to be constituted with Him! Amen, Lord, constitute us with Yourself. Make us the same as You are. Keep us open to You in our personal relationship with You. May we give You more ground in our being. May we allow You to touch and reach to every part in our inward being. Oh Lord, we want to enjoy God and partake of the riches of His being so that we may be constituted with the divine nature and become the same as God in life and nature but not in the Godhead! Amen!
