God Expects Holiness
Since the gospel has transformed us, our lifestyles should alter significantly. God’s perfect holiness empowers and expects our personal holiness.
Notice
- We can’t consider instruction for what we should do until we have reflected on what Christ has done (1:13).
- The quest for holiness includes developing a mindset that actually desires it (1:13).
- Your conduct ought to be noticeably different since becoming a part of the family of God (1:14).
- Dedication to God means that you are thoroughly set apart (1:15-16).
- You should live securely in your identity and reverently in your activity (1:17).
- The value of salvation’s price tag should encourage us to discontinue our cheap habits (1:18-19).
- If the resurrected Christ is God’s plan from the beginning, I can trust Him to the very end (1:20-21).
Consider
- Reflect, Receive, or Reject?
- To ignore the gospel of Jesus is to reject it.
- Jesus sacrificed His life for you; will you surrender your life to Him?
- Challenge, Conform, or Change?
- God did not forgive your sins so you could live with a free pass to continue them.
- Jesus provides righteousness yet expects holiness.
