Participants in Divine Nature

About this episode

The episode explores the concept of participating in the divine nature as described in 2 Peter 1:4 and includes a quote from Athanasius on God's revelation through creation.

Scripture 2 Peter 1:4 (NRSVUE) Thus he has given us, through these things, his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of lust, and may become participants of the divine nature. Refrain I am a participant in the divine nature. Quote Athanasius "God was consistent in working through one man to reveal himself everywhere, as well as through the other parts of His creation, so that nothing was left devoid of his Divinity and his self-knowledge... so that the whole universe was filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters fill the sea."
