—1 Peter 1:13-21
by: Sheri Rood.
Much of this life seems to be an exercise in futility—repetitive actions that happen on a daily basis just to keep our lives in order. Clean things get dirty, activity produces chaos, plants grow and have to be trimmed back, etc. It takes effort to keep our lives in order. These verses remind me that “being holy” requires action—not in the sense of making ourselves righteous (that would be impossible) but in the sense of continuously separating ourselves unto God and fixing our hope completely on His grace.
