Today’s reading: 1 Peter 1:13-25
Peter issues the call and challenge to conduct ourselves rightly–“to be holy in all our conduct.” But rather than simply stating this charge and moving on, he fleshes this out a bit and provides a number of ways we should be conducting ourselves in order to live out a holy lifestyle.
- Our minds should be engaged for God–prepare our mind for action, being sober-minded (vs. 13)
- We should behave differently–not be conformed to our former ways (vs. 14)
- We must have reverence for God (vs. 17)
- We remember the price that Jesus paid on the cross, dying for our sins (vs. 18-19)
- We live having faith in and hoping for Christ’s return (vs. 21)
- We genuinely and sincerely extend love to others (vs. 22)
