Divine—the Kingdom of God,
with the Divine Attributes
In its nature the kingdom of God (Mark 1:15) is divine, having the divine attributes. The word “divine” means being of God, having the nature of God, or being transcendent and distinct from all others. Only God has the nature of God, and only God is transcendent and distinct from everything else. Therefore, only God is divine.
The Conclusion of the New Testament:
Message 250 (LSM)
ONLY THE LIFE OF GOD BEING LIFE
Being divine means being of God, having the nature of God, or being transcendent and distinctive from all others. Only God is God, only God has the nature of God, and only God is transcendent and distinctive; therefore, only God is divine.
