Become a partaker of the inheritance of Christ!
Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in his 2nd Epistle, chapter 1:
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
3 as His Divine power has given to us all things that pertain to Life and Godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,
4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the Divine Nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
The word partake (Strong’s #2844, koinonos and #3353, metochos) means “to be a participant of something, a sharer in something, or a carrier of something.
Also, Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians 1:
9 For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His Will in all Wisdom and Spiritual understanding;
10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy;
12 giving thanks to the Father Who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.
13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the Kingdom of the Son of His Love,
14 in Whom we have redemption through His Blood, the forgiveness of sins.
Partaking of Christ’s Life means not only receiving His Life in our hearts when we are born again, but also living that Life out in our souls. Partaking of His Life is what empowers us to become overcomers, the faithful ones who produce “fruit.” It means that the Life of Christ is not only living in us but is now being lived out through us. His Life has filled us, and the Holy Spirit is now empowering us.
Further, Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 12:
7 If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?
8 But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.
9 Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of Spirits and live?
10 For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His Holiness.
11 Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
It is vital that you understand that being a partaker of Christ is not the same thing as being a partaker in Christ. The former is “experiential” whereas the latter is “positional.”
Partaking of His Life results in becoming those overcomers whom Jesus refers to in the Book of Revelation as ruling and reigning with Him in the Millennium. It is Christ’s overcoming Life––His Agape Love, His supernatural power, and His Divine Wisdom. Overcomers are simply partaking of that Life. They are Loving with His Love, depending upon His strength, and making decisions through His Wisdom.
These are the faithful believers who will be Christ’s co-heirs in His future Kingdom!
