The Call to Holiness

📖 Scripture:

“But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do.” — 1 Peter 1:15 (NIV)

❓Reflective Question:

How does God’s holiness inspire you to reflect His character in your daily life?

Holiness consists of making a daily decision to set your heart and mind apart for God, not out of religious obligation but out of relational love. Yet, these daily decisions can only be made in a state of genuine willingness by being under the constant supervision of His Holy Spirit.

When Peter calls us to be holy, he’s not saying, “Be flawless in every aspect of your lives.” He’s saying, “Be different from those who don’t know Christ”. In a world where most are chasing after what fades away, holiness is a silent form of rebellion — a life marked by purity, compassion, and a hunger for God.

Holiness isn’t about completing a checklist; it’s a  complete transformation of who we were before. It’s letting God shape your heart, your thoughts, your desires. And the beauty of it all? It’s not something we achieve by our own merit. Holiness is birthed in us through the presence of the Holy Spirit, as we lean into God’s grace and walk in obedience to His word.

🙏🏽 Prayer:

“Holy God, set my heart apart for You. Shape me to reflect Your character, not by my strength but through Your Spirit working in me. Make me holy as You are holy. In Jesus’ name;”

Amen.
