2 Peter 1:4 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.
All these wonderful, precious promises come through a knowledge of Jesus Christ and by faith in Him.
When you are born again, you are given the nature of God. That’s amazing!
Don’t let anybody tell you that the Christian life is a little series of dos and don’ts.
As a partaker of the divine nature, you want the things of God.
Standing on The Promises
________________________
Standing on the promises of Christ my King, — Through eternal ages let His praises ring, — Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing, — Standing on the promises of God.
CHORUS:
Standing, standing, — Standing on the promises of God my Savior; — Standing, standing, — I’m standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises that cannot fail, — When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail, — By the living Word of God I shall prevail, — Standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises I now can see — Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me; — Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free, — Standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord, — Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord, — Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword, — Standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises I cannot fall, — List’ning every moment to the Spirit’s call, — Resting in my Savior as my all in all, — Standing on the promises of God.
