1 Peter 1:13-21 – Since the gospel has transformed us, our lifestyles should alter significantly. God’s perfect holiness empowers and expects our personal holiness.
Notice

- The quest for holiness includes developing a mindset that actually desires it (1:13).
- Your conduct ought to be noticeably different since becoming a part of the family of God (1:14).
- Dedication to God means that you are thoroughly set apart (1:15-16).
- You should live securely in your identity and reverently in your activity (1:17).
- The value of salvation’s price tag should encourage us to discontinue our cheap habits (1:18-19).
- If the resurrected Christ is God’s plan from the beginning, I can trust Him to the very end (1:20-21).
Consider
