Be Holy, for I Am Holy
From the very first words of Peter’s letter, it is obvious that Peter wants followers of Jesus to see themselves as God’s chosen people, set apart by the “sanctifying work of the Spirit, to be obedient to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with his blood.” We are saved and set apart to live a particular sort of life in the world, an “obedient” life. Peter tells his audience, “Just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do.” So, what does this mean? How does Jesus expect sanctified people to live? What does it look like to “be holy” in all we do? (Scripture: 1 Peter 1:13-21)
