1 Peter 1:13-16 |
|
KJV 13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and |
|
hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at |
|
the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14 As obedient children, not |
|
fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your |
|
ignorance: 15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye |
|
holy in all manner of conversation; 16Because it is written, Be |
|
ye holy; for I am holy. |
|
WEB 13 Therefore prepare your minds for action. Be sober, and |
|
set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at |
|
the revelation of Jesus Christ� 14 as children of obedience, not |
|
conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your |
|
ignorance, 15 but just as he who called you is holy, you |
|
yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior; 16 because it |
|
is written, �You shall be holy; for I am holy.� |
|
These are my thoughts, please share yours. |
|
13 Our minds need to be focused on the Lord and living for Him |
|
in His loving grace and not in the ways of this corrupted world. |
|
Grace only comes by Christ no where else can grace from God b |
|
found even though the world wants to think otherwise it is |
|
Christ alone. |
|
14 We are now by Christ empowered to obey and be His servants. |
|
We once lived in ignorance being in sin and apart from Christ, |
|
we should have had a change and should be changing now that we |
|
are in Him. |
|
15 Just as when we were not in Jesus that we drove to sin we now |
|
as Christians should drive to Him and His holiness. |
|
16 He alone is Holy but we need to be so close to Him that it |
|
shows thru our life. We are to be like Him in the best way we |
|
can by living right although we cant be perfect and that is |
|
where grace place its part but we should strive for so much |
|
closeness with God that living right is simply what we do. |
