I Peter 1:16
I Peter 1:16: “Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.”
This is so important! So many people today have made peace with the sins in their lives, but as Christians we must not do that. We must seek sin and root it out. As the Bible says, we must hate even the garment that is stained with the flesh. We must loathe sin and never, ever come to accept it. God has called us to holiness; He wants us to pursue it. This call is not optional. We are to be holy because He is holy.
Jesus was very clear about this: if we love Him then we are to demonstrate that love by keeping His commandments. Those that can’t be bothered to obey Him don’t actually love Him at all – and that has very serious consequences.
