I Peter 1:15-16
Excerpted from: What Is Prayer?God is our employer. We are in a work. And God's work is perfecting holiness of heart and life in us. He is reproducing Himself. His work is not just to get us saved. If all He wanted to do was get us saved, all we would have to do is go through the process of repentance, the receiving of His Spirit, and that would be the end of it. He could waft us off to heaven and that would be it.
God is God. God is holy. We are to become God. We are to become holy. That is the emphasis in our lives from this point on. Our life is not a means of merely being saved but rather our life is to be pointed toward becoming holy.
I Peter 1:15-16
Excerpted from: Let the Saints be Joyful in Glory!Please turn over to I Peter 1, verse 15. What sets the saints apart? Our English word saint derives from the Latin and means sacred or holy one. It is used to translate biblical Hebrew and Greek words meaning sacred or holy one. Now we have an obligation to work hard to be holy in how we live and think and reason and discern. Of course, ultimately it is God who accomplishes it. But we certainly have to be submissive to Him.
No single synonym fully captures what it means to be holy. In a general sense, holy means clean, without blame or blemish, irreproachable, and set apart as from the world.
I Peter 1:15-16
Excerpted from: Be Holy, as I am HolyWe are called to be separate, a cut above. And that has everything to do with God, not with us.
Yes, holy means to be set apart. But it also means to be set apart from our sinful nature and dedicated to God. This separation is not solely about a physical separation or isolation, but rather a spiritual change and a change from our moral perspective.
You see, when it uses the word for God, His holiness, it means it is all talking about His quality. Holiness speaks of His majesty, His immeasurable power, and His perfect righteousness. That is what He wants to see in us.
I Peter 1:15-16
Excerpted from: Holiness (Part 2)Here we find a command—that we are to pursue after holiness.
These two verses say three things. First, God is holy. Second, the acceptance of this way of life, the acceptance of salvation, the acceptance of the blood of Jesus Christ—that is implied; it is not stated there directly. But the best way to say it, in a general way, is "with the acceptance of this salvation." With it, holiness must be an issue in our life. And then third, we must be holy—because God is holy.
