PREPARE YOUR MINDS FOR ACTION / 1 PETER 1:13

Notice that this extended passage on holiness (1 Peter 1:13-2:13) begins by telling believers to prepare for action. In the language of the first century, the original recipients of the letter would have gotten the image of literally gathering up their long, flowing outer garment and getting ready for physical activity. This is significant because many people consider holiness as a passive mindset, an attitude that seeks to avoid difficult things. While holiness does involve personal restraint and “self-control” in many areas of life, it also involves positive action. Being holy means to be set apart from ungodliness, but it also conveys the idea of active pursuit and freedom to fulfill God’s highest purposes for one’s life (1 Peter 1:16; Hebrews 12:14).
