“But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:15-16
God Demands Distinction: The word used for holiness in the New Testament is "ἅγιος" (hag'-ee-os). It means holy one and was often interpreted as "saints" when referring to Christians. The root of the word implies being different. It means to be distinct. To be holy in all manner of conversation, "ἀναστροφή" (an-as-trof-ay) means to be distinct in all manner of life, conduct, and behavior.
Question: How are you different from those who have not accepted Christ?
Challenge: Identify an area in your life that is not distinct, and commit to change.

About this Plan
The word holiness comes from a root word that means to be different. The Lord God demands those who carry His Name to manifest His character and to reflect His love. The "look" of holiness, sanctification, has been defined in various ways over the centuries. This five-day devotional will teach us what God means when He calls us holy.
