As the graft receives life when united to the vine, so the sinner partakes of the divine nature when connected to Christ.
Man was formed in the likeness of God. His nature was in harmony with the will of God.
"If a man love me,' Christ said, 'he will keep my words, and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.' John 14:23. The spell of a stronger, a perfect mind will be over us for we have a living connection with the source of all-enduring strength. In our divine life, we shall be brought into captivity to Jesus Christ. We shall no longer live the common life of selfishness, but Christ will live in us.
The term 'human nature' can apply to either the sinless (before sin) nature or the 'born-again' nature. It can also apply to the 'sinful-nature' according to the context in which it is used.
Don't you want to receive a nature in harmony with the will of God. I do. Read John 14:23 again and see what you have been promised. Grandma Joan
