1 Peter 1:13-21

Choose holiness in the midst of suffering because it is…

1. The call of every Christ follower.
   1 Peter 1:13-15

If you are going to pursue holiness, you must understand what it is

• Holiness is a mindset (1 Peter 1:13)
• Obedience is the fruit of that mindset (1 Peter 1:14)
• Holiness is the clear expectation of God (1 Peter 1:15-16)

How do we grow our hunger for holiness?

• Reverent fear in the present (1 Peter 1:17)

Why holiness is worth pursuing

• Future evaluation and rewards (1 Peter 1:17)
• Evidence of your citizenship and freedom (aimless conduct) (1 Peter 1:18)
• Humble gratitude (1 Peter 1:18-19)

Suffering is a season, but the shame and consequences of not choosing holiness can last a lifetime.
