1Peter 1:1 - 2:3 (15-16)What else is there besides the title? BE HOLY, BECAUSE _ __ HOLY. First the rule was obey and listen to what God requested; which was obedience. We couldn't figure that one out so He broke it down into 10 rules. We botched that by over thinking. So He simplified it again by giving us the golden rule, Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, and soul ... and love your neighbor as you would yourself. For some reason, this is still to complicated for individuals in a group to understand because of 'what ifs'. So the original rule was simplified into two words. Words we cannot mistake the meaning of. BE HOLY. Exist/Occur/Occupy the position in, dedicated or consecrated to God/devoted to the service of God. So what does that entail? "Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart" 1 Peter 1:22. As ambassadors of Christ we should live as such. The father judges all impartially, so Be Holy.
