Introduction:
There is an 8 stair step plan according to the apostle Peter that is guaranteed 100% to get you and anyone else to heaven.
It may sound strange but is true.
We are going to build these stair steps together over the next four weeks as we discover this fool-proof plan.
We have to develop what we are given.
It is not just automatic.
When we come to Christ, we are given all pertaining to life and godliness through His divine power.
It is not automatic.
It needs to be exercised and developed.
When Gabe was born he had a form of dys-ar-thria.
He could not use his tongue and was not even aware of it.
It seems strange but it was true.
He did not talk, but screamed to communicate.
We were finally able to get him to a speech therapist and he learned how to use his tongue and he has not stopped talking since.
1. Faith
The first step we build is faith.
According to Strong’s, this word for faith is moral conviction of the truthfulness of God especially reliance upon Christ for salvation.
We must all walk the Roman’s road to start our journey to developing our divine nature.
This is the first building step on our way to developing our divine nature.
It all starts here.
We can not jump to godliness or brotherly kindness without a faith in Jesus Christ to begin with.
This is where we are a new creation.
All things are passed away and behold all things become new.
Praise God!!!
2. Virtue
The next step that we take is virtue.
According to Strong’s, this word for virtue means excellence (intrinsic or attributed) praise.
This word is used 4 times in the new testament.
Three times it is translated virtue and one time it is translated praise.
This is something we do as a reaction to the grace of God we have experienced.
It can not be scripted or rehearsed.
If it could, then it would not be real.
The choices we make, our reaction to a dying world around us come from an excellence that is developing on the inside as we are on step 2. Our virtue stems from a change on the inside as it is making its way to the outside.
We have been translated from a citizen of Satan’s kingdom to a citizen in God’s kingdom.
This changes everything.
Conclusion:
We can not start developing our divine nature without coming to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
We must walk this road to the cross.
We must trade our allegiance from this world to a better world.
This is where we start to build these stairs we want to climb.
Do you have to build these stairs to go to heaven?
No.
You only have to walk the Roman’s road to the cross.
The apostle Peter goes on to say that if you do not develop your divine nature, you could easily forget the sins the Lord purged you of at one time and could fall away from the Lord.
As we start to build these stairs, we see virtue is the next step.
Where are you at in your virtue?
Do you live out the praises of Him who has called you out of sin?
Does your life demonstrate the excellence of our Lord Jesus Christ?
We need to develop what we have been given.
As we exercise and develop this divine nature that the Lord has given us, we will see that it is easier and easier to live a godly life and know that our blessed hope is coming.
Jesus is preparing a place for us and He is making that entrance to the everlasting kingdom abundantly clear.
