Be Ye Holy

"But as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy (Leviticus 11:44)." 1 Peter 1:15-16

As our heavenly Father is holy, and His Son Jesus is holy, we as Christians are called upon to also be holy. There are things in this world that we are to abstain from as we act in a Christ-like manner. We should act like we are the sons of God and not the products of Satan.

"Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for grace ... as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in you ignorance..." 1 Peter 1:13-14

We are to protect our mind, reject the sinful pleasures of the world. We are to exercise spiritual steadfastness, self-control, clarity of mind, and moral correctness. Be free from the intoxication of sin. We are to be obedient children of God and not give in to the evils of this world. There was a time when we didn't know any better, but now that we know better, we should do better.

Glorify God by being like Him and imitate His ways and speech.
