Dare To Be Holy


“Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix all your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.  As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written, ‘You shall be Holy, for I am Holy.’” 
1 Peter 1:14-1

People sometimes say they don’t want to be Christians because they will have to give up too much – meaning give up their sinful lifestyles which they know are sinful.  What they don’t realize is that there is so much to gain from becoming a Christian, that the old lifestyle is not missed.  Once we make up our minds to change, the rest comes easy. 

It is easier to be holy than to be sinful.
