Motivation for Holy Living - 1 Peter 1:17-21

8/2/2020

TBC Glassboro Sermons and More · Motivation For Holy Living - 1 Peter 1:17-21
Previously, Peter encouraged his readers to live their blessed life by being prepared, obedient, and holy.  Preparation is continuously saturating one’s mind in God’s Word.  Obedience is following the Law of God.  Holiness is exhibiting a lifestyle different from this hostile, pagan world.  Of these three actions, the hardest is to be holy, notably when scattered and suffering.  
In the Greek, 1 Peter 1:17-21 forms a single sentence and is a midrash or exegesis on the quote from Leviticus 19:2 — “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”  Striving to be holy is not easy nor does it not come automatically; it requires motivation.  Peter provides two motivations for holy living — the chastening of God and the cost of redemption.
