What does the phrase “partakers of the divine nature” mean in 2 Peter 1:4? The verse says, “for by these He has granted to us his precious and magnificent promises so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, and the escape the corruption that is in the world by lust.” Does the phrase mean we become divine, or gods, or obtain supernatural abilities? Does it mean that we participate in divinity somehow? Or does it mean we are experiencing the power of God in our lives?
