1 Peter: Week 2 • Being Holy in an Unholy World • April 14, 2024
1 Peter 1:13
Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, 15 but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
NLT Version -

You didn’t know any better then. 15 But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy. 16 For the Scriptures say, “You must be holy because I am holy.”

God is light. In Him is no darkness. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie…
You cannot be holy and be

Whoever says I know him but does not keep his commandments is a liar.
You cannot know Christ as Savior and Lord and not have
Holiness is not
