What does the Bible say about partaking of the divine nature?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible states that believers are partakers of the divine nature through faith in Christ, which signifies sharing in God's attributes.

In 2 Peter 1:4, it is declared that believers are given exceeding great and precious promises, allowing them to be partakers of the divine nature. This term, 'partaker,' indicates a profound sharing in God's nature—not merely an appreciation for it. Upon salvation, individuals are born of God's Spirit, signifying a new creation that possesses a divine nature distinct from the old sinful nature. This transformation empowers believers to share in God's righteousness and holiness through faith in Christ, causing them to reflect His character and will.
