Answer 1

First you must have the mind of Christ .

1CO 2:16 "For who has known the mind of the Lord
that he may instruct him?"

But we have the mind of Christ.

If you really have a personal relationship with christ then all things pertaining to divine nature is evident.\\

PHP 2:5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:

PHP 2:6 Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,

PHP 2:7 but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.

PHP 2:8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to death--
even death on a cross!

PHP 2:9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,

PHP 2:10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

PHP 2:11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

Answer 2

Thank you for concealing a crackpot question.

Seriously, honestly and with all good intent. Ask yourself what is God, really. When you have that down solid then you can talk about the rest of it, like God's nature. But until you can do that you simply have no idea of what you are talking about.

So I will help you!
First figure out what your God is, A Sky Fairy, a Conscious Universal Gas Cloud, an Invisible Pink Unicorn.
Which of these analogies does your God most resemble.

Answer 3

Tp be a child of the King means we will be taken care of.

Matt 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Answer 4

You must believe that Christ is God in human flesh,
that Jesus is all of your salvation and you are none of it.

You need only a little more faith than no faith at all.

Christ said if you had faith the size of a mustard seed you could move mountains.

God, in Christ saved us, because we could not save ourselves.

We could not meet the demands of infinite divine holiness in regards to our sin. Only God could meet the demands of infinite divine holiness.

We have recieved (imputed) righteousness. That is a term from the original Greek, it means that Christ bore our sins but was not personally guilty of our sins.

We recieve his righteousness, though we are not absolutely righteous.

The Bible says "That we might become the righteousness of God in Him." It is only through Christ that we become the righteousness of God, and we are compatible to live with God in eternity. The Bible says "our righteousness is as a filthy rag before him." People who stand before God, without putting their trust in Christ as savior will stand on their own righteousness, and will not be accepted by God.

I feel great and I believe on DIVERSITY. This is a crack pot answer,forgive the typo error,I mean crack nut answer. And I am playing a nice guy.

Answer 6

Divine nature is what is inherent in the Divine, in God, in Christ and in the Holy Ghost (as one becomes more specific) and in you. To me, Divine Nature is something God has, and can bestow upon others. This is what is meant by the concept of "grace"...most people think grace is forgiveness, but to me, grace is the process of God giving us Divine Nature that we can keep. Thus, Divine Nature becomes a permanent part of our nature, which to me is what people refer to as the "Christ-like" nature.

An example; in Jacob, God tells Jacob that he is not only responsible for his sins, but also for the sins of all the people. This is because he is a prophet. Now, the 'prophet' part of his being is Divine Nature in action, and in Jacob 3-4, he preaches to the people and is able... by the Divine Nature in him that was given to him by God...to convert the people and get them believing in Christ and the atonement.

The atonement is another example of Divine Nature...it resides in people as well as in the Divine. The scripture says 'infinite atonement' in D&C...anything 'infinite' is definitely a clue to my ears that it is describing Divine Nature. In LDS, by becoming children of God, we can enrich ourselves to the point where we burn off the 'natural man' and all that's left is the inner man...which is Divine Nature, the God-like/Christ-like part of reality.

Heavenly Father wants his children to grow up just like him, which is why he limits himself to the Celestrial Glory. Only there can we be directly instructed on how to cultivate Divine Nature by God. Here, on the planet, we get instructed by Holy Ghost, Angels, and each other (people are God's language). On another sense, if everything is nature, then what part of it isn't Divine? Even agency can be seen as an expression of Divine Nature.
