For 5 weeks we’ll preach messages from 1 Peter. He’s such a courageous leader, a rock just like Jesus had predicted. His letter is packed with encouragement and wisdom. Christ has given us living hope through His resurrection! So no matter what you are facing, hold on to your hope in Christ!
Holiness emphasizes “set-apart-ness” or uniqueness.
Being holy is about being who God has already declared you to be. Living into the identity Christ has given us - not making one up for ourselves.
Holiness cannot be earned. Holiness is an aspect of who you already are in Christ Jesus the Lord.

It’s not our repentance that leads to God’s kindness, but God’s kindness that leads us to repentance.

The Christian life of obedience is not a pilgrimage toward a goal…it is a witness or signpost to that end that has already been achieved by Christ the Lord and will be consummated in the last day via the action of God.

We do what God has asked of us...
because of what God has done for us.
