How do we know the doctrine of divine nature is true?

Answered in 1 source

The truth of believers partaking in the divine nature is confirmed through Scripture, particularly in 2 Peter 1:4, which asserts this spiritual reality.

The doctrine that believers partake in the divine nature is grounded in the authoritative Word of God. In 2 Peter 1:4, the Holy Spirit explicitly states this truth, and since Scripture is infallible and inspired, we accept it as truth. This participation does not mean becoming divine in essence, but rather it implies that believers are endowed with divine qualities through God's grace. Only by the omnipotent action of the Holy Spirit can we experience this reality, confirming that it is not merely theoretical but an experiential truth for all who believe.
