TODAY’S WORD…

.

Just as He who called you is Holy, so be holy in all you do;

for it is written: “Be holy, because I am Holy.”

.

– 1 Peter 1:15-16 (NIV)

.

.

.

REFLECTION…

.

As God’s people, living on this side of the cross,

we have been cleansed from our sin.

The sacrifice of Jesus has made us clean in the sight of God.

We have been made holy through Jesus,

and we can interact with God because of this great gift.

.

But what does living a holy life involve?

Because we have been made holy, we need to act like we’re holy.

We are to be set apart from the world.

.

We are to hate sin and steer clear of sinful situations.

We are to honour God with our every breath

– with whatever we do and say and think.

.

We need to be devout in our walk;

devoted to the things of God;

obedient to His commands;

constant in our faith…and loyal.

.

Being holy means being set apart…for God.

.
