Lord, help us to be holy as you are holy.

In Jesus’ name,

1 Peter 1:15-16 teaches that as Christians, we are called to be holy in all our conduct

because God, who called us, is holy; essentially, our lives should reflect God’s holiness

and set us apart from the world, mirroring the command “You shall be holy, for I am

holy”. This verse emphasizes that our identity as believers is tied to God’s holiness,

meaning we are called to live in a way that reflects His character. “Be holy in all your

conduct,” signifies that our holiness should be evident in every aspect of our lives, not

just in specific religious practices. By living a holy life, we demonstrate that we have

been transformed by God’s grace and are striving to be like Him.

We are not called to be perfect (which is good, because we would all fall short). We are

also not called to try to earn our way to redemption. That price has already been paid.

We are called to conduct ourselves in a way that reflects the One who has brought us

this redemption. We need to strive (effort, focus, and dedication) to live all aspects of

our lives in a way that honors God.

I know this is a struggle for me and maybe it is for you too. One way I have tried is by

asking the Holy Spirit to show me areas in my life that need to be focused on. After all, I

know that I want to be a pro, and not an amateur in my daily walk. I invite you to give

this a try too.
