PROMISE FOR JUNE 9th

"Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature." 2 Peter 1:4

By these--by obedience to them.... Oh, how wonderful that the great Creator should condescend not only to redeem sinners but to urge, to entice them to receive His bounties and blessings! R. 3059, c.1, p.4.

The exceeding great and precious promises are unfolded to us gradually, as we prove faithful and go on, in order that by these--by the strength and courage which they infuse--we may be enabled so to run as to obtain the prize. C. 220, p.2.
