As Christians we are blessed to share in the divine nature of Jesus (2 Peter 1:4); not to become little gods, indulgent despots, or to exercise micro-sovereignty over anything or anybody. God’s promises are way more about our holiness than our happiness – ‘escaping corruption,’ not accumulating possessions. In this sense, his promises claim us; we don’t claim them.
