Ellen White describes being a "partaker of the divine nature" as the highest privilege and honor that God can bestow upon humanity. This experience is characterized by a Christlike character, harmony with God’s law, and a life of selfless love. Here are some key points from her writings: 1. It is the greatest joy and honor to become a partaker of the divine nature, enabling believers to bless others (SC 79.1). 2. Evidence of this experience is seen in a transformed character and loving actions that reflect Christ’s love (DA 153.1). 3. Those who partake of the divine nature will be in harmony with God’s law, which is the standard by which all are judged (COL 314.2). 4. Preparation for heaven involves escaping the corruption of the world and being transformed by God’s grace (2T 266.2). 5. Through Christ, every person is given the privilege to partake of the divine nature and receive immortality (SpTEd 220.1). 6. The true children of God are marked by selfless love, even toward the unthankful and evil, which is a sign of their heavenly citizenship (MB 75.2). 7. Partaking of the divine nature means reflecting Christ’s image in life and character, working together with God in the process of salvation (HS 135.6). 8. Fellowship with God and Christ brings unspeakable joy and is of priceless value, as it makes one a partaker of the divine nature (4T 357.2). In summary, being a "partaker of the divine nature" means living a life transformed by Christ, marked by love, obedience, and preparation for eternal life with God.
