Seeing that His divine power has granted to us all things which relate to life and godliness, through the full knowledge of Him who has called us by His own glory and virtue,
Through which He has granted to us precious and exceedingly great promises that through these you might become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption which is in the world by lust (2 Peter 1:3-4). God's divine trajectory is the pathway to glory! According to these verses God has called us by His own glory and virtue. However, Christianity teaches that God has called them to go to heaven. Nevertheless, we need the full knowledge of Him, in and by life. What is life? Life is God's divine, uncreated eternal life and nature. Thus, if you believe into Him and receive His life and nature into you, that divine life will enable you to live, walk, and have your being in Him. Godliness is the outward expression of the inner life. The growth in the divine life is the inner vivacity and vitality that produce the outward, external godliness. Eventually, this external godliness will issue and result in His glory. Thus, His calling you is contingent on your growth in the divine life. Only He can call you by His own glory and virtue (1 Peter 2:9; 3:9; 5:10; 1 Thessalonians 2:12; 2 Thessalonians 2:14; 2 Timothy 1:9; 2 Peter 1:10). What is virtue according to the Scriptures? God's divine attributes are always expressed through His divine virtues. Thus, the believers in Christ can express God's divine virtues by the growth in the divine life. Virtue denotes the vitality of the divine life that enables us to overcome all impediments and hindrances that we may accomplish all the supreme attributes of God. Although all things that relate to life and godliness are granted to us, we still need to progress spiritually by the growth in the divine life on our pathway to glory (1 Peter 2:9; 2 Peter 1:5; Philippians 4:8).
