God’s nature, or divine nature, is perfectly pure and it cannot be tempted by evil. We are promised that we can be partakers of the divine nature by fleeing the corruption in the world that comes through our lusts. As we gradually overcome our sinful human nature it is replaced by divine nature – God shares His own nature with us. As our natural reactions to the situations we meet in life are overcome, the works of the flesh, such as envy, pride, malice, and greed, are replaced by the fruit of the Spirit. In other words, reacting with love, humility, goodness, joy, etc. becomes our very nature. This is what it means that we can partake of divine nature. This is the process of sanctification. (2 Peter 1:2-4; 2 Corinthians 2:18; 1 John 3:2-3; James 1:13; Galatians 5)Chikhalidwe cha Mulungu, kapena chikhalidwe chauMulungu, ndi changwiro ndipo sichingayesedwe ndi choipa. Tikulonjezedwa kuti titha kugawana nawo uMulungu pothawa chivundi cha dziko chomwe chimabwera chifukwa cha zilakolako zathu. Pamene tigonjetsa pang'onopang'ono umunthu wathu wauchimo umalowedwa m'malo ndi uMulungu - Mulungu amagawana chikhalidwe chake ndi ife. Pamene machitidwe athu achibadwa ku nyengo zosiyanasiyana zomwe timakumana nazo m'moyo zimagonjetsedwa, ntchito za thupi, monga nsanje, kunyada, njiru, ndi umbombo, zimalowedwa m'malo ndi chipatso cha Mzimu. Mwa kuyankhula kwina, kuchita ndi chikondi, kudzichepetsa, ubwino, chimwemwe, ndi zina zotero kumakhala chikhalidwe chathu. Izi ndi zomwe zikutanthauza kuti tikhoza kutenga nawo chikhalidwe chaumulungu. Iyi ndi njira yakuyeretsedwa. (2 Petro 1:2-4; 2 Akorinto 2:18; 1 Yohane 3:2-3; Yakobo 1:13; Agalatiya 5)
