Gem from Chem

The most remarkable picture of divine love toward us is that He joins us to Himself in a fellowship not only of created gifts, but that He shares with us from His own essence the Spirit who is co-essential or consubstantial with Himself. For we are not only participants in divine gifts but also we share in the divine nature itself, 2 Peter 1:4. - Martin Chemnitz, Loci Theologici (vol. 1, page 145)
