Called to be Holy

Be holy as God is holy! When I was growing up, other people would sometimes confuse holiness with separation from the world or keeping their man-made rules. There has been a shift from legalism (though legalism is still alive and well) to license. We think we can do what we want now that we have experienced “freedom” from the man-made rules. Neither legalism nor license are God’s plan for you. Instead, the living hope He has for us is a living holiness. That we can different than the world. That we can be holy like God. Sound impossible? Not if we have a spirit that is holy, which transforms us from the inside out. And the good news is that we have just that - the Holy Spirit gives us living hope so we can holy live. This is what we learn from 1 Peter 1:13-21!
