—1 Peter 1:13-21
by: Ellen Olson.
These verses remind us that as a people we have been redeemed with the precious blood of Jesus. Jesus was able to fulfill the roll as our sacrificial lamb, because he was holy and without blemish. God the Father is also described here as holy.
Because our salvation was based on holiness, our response to that free gift is to strive to be holy in all we do. The call to become a holy people is a call to be a disciplined people. Our response to God's gift is to strive to become obedient children.
