A Post by Steve McVey, a brother in Christ I have never met, but am glad that I stumbled across his blog. It has caused me to consider my life in Christ from a fresh perspective, one that gives me bliss. Hope you enjoy it too!
Interesting... I did like it, although it almost sounded as he was saying that we became part of God's "godness" - it was a bit confusing, but I don't think that is what he meant. I do like the thought of not accepting Jesus but being accepted by Him. Very cool.
4Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
Steve McVey has been a big part in my healing. I learned about him when I went to a Spiritual Healing retreat that is run by a Southern Baptist Couple. So I doubt Steve is Mormon. ;-)
I am a home school mom who finished my course. My two graduates are young adults now, one graduated from university cum laude, and the second is a starting sophomore at community college. I'm currently in school myself, trying to master a challenging and rewarding career in the medical field. I love Jesus and the freedom that He brings, as it is for freedom that Christ has set me free (Gal 5:1).

2 Corinthians 4:7 7But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.
ReplyDeletei think he is referring to the indwelling Holy Spirit, who is no less God for his association with us mere mortals
ReplyDeleteYes, I know what you mean - I was just referring to the heresy of thinking that we become minature gods.
