START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) 1 Peter 1:16
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
BE HOLY / 1 PETER 1:16
God is holy, and what is true of God should be true of His people. Holiness, when referring to God, relates to His absolute purity, perfection, completeness and separation from evil. When applied to God’s people, holiness carries the thought of being morally pure, spiritually whole, separated from the ungodly ways of the world and set apart for love, service and worship to God (Leviticus 11:44). The goal is to be prepared for service to God (2 Timothy 2:20-21), which is positive action (1 Peter 1:13). Holiness is not only avoiding evil; it is also pursuing godliness (Hebrews 12:14). Holiness is a goal of our calling to follow Christ (Ephesians 1:4); it means being like God and being dedicated completely to Him (living to please Him; Romans 12:1; Ephesians 1:4; Ephesians 2:10; 1 John 3:2-3). We are made holy by the sanctifying (purifying, refining, developing, setting apart) work of the Holy Spirit (1 Peter 1:2), by the power of Christ’s sacrifice that frees us from the power of sin (Romans 6), by being renewed in the image of God (Colossians 3:10) and by the gift of God’s grace which enables us to obey God and live by His Word (Galatians 5:16, 22-23, 25; Titus 3:5; 2 Peter 1:9).
