Paul said, eye has not seen, ear has not heard, neither has it entered into the heart of man what GOD has prepared for the saints. Peter said that we have a very precious promise that someday we will partake of the divine nature, the nature of GOD, when we enter the kingdom but Jesus being the first born had this nature from birth.
