Be Like Your Dad

In these verses Peter gives us the second command in the first 16 verses of chapter one. First he told us to "hope fully" in all that God is and all that God promises to us. Now, he tells us to "be holy" as God is holy. As Christians, we are called to make it our goal to live exemplary lives. We are to live lives that are morally and spiritually excellent. Without a doubt, this will be difficult and we will be tripped up along the way. Nevertheless, we are to aim for holiness and Christ-likeness in all that we do. This is the very essence of worship.
