“As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, ‘You shall be holy, for I am holy.’†~1 Peter 1:14-16 (ESV)

“God is the reason that we should be holy. But He’s also the empowerment for our holiness. Many of us are convinced that we should be more holy, but we’ve gone about it wrong. To be holy in our strength, and for our glory, is to be distinctly unholy. To be holy in Christ’s strength and for His glory…that’s our calling, and our joy.â€Â ~Randy Alcorn
