Be Holy
1 Peter 1:13-19
Gird up your mind
Improve, strengthen
Use your brain – exercise it – puzzles, games, crossword, wordsearch, sudoku
Read, learn a new subject (how to cane re-cane chairs, new language, computers, set up a website, send email, etc.)
Be sober
Sober – not drunk
Serious thinking (sometimes)
There is a time to be serious about life and eternity
Be obedient children
Hebrews 5:8-9
Don't conform to the world
Romans 12:1-2
Be holy in your conduct
Holy = saint, sanctify, separate, set apart, dedicated for God
Our conduct must set us apart, show we are dedicated to God
God will judge by you live and work
The standard is the Word of God – Bible
We (our life, our work, our conduct) will be contrasted with the Bible.
Live like you are saved – redeemed
Glad your a Christians? Act like it.
Saved? Forgiven? Redeemed? Act like it.
Act like the blood of Jesus is important -
Precious
No spot or blemish
