  8. “Be Holy As I Am Holy”1 Peter 1:15-16 • Peter quotes from Leviticus (11:44-45; 19:2; 20:7,26; 21:8) to establish his point concerning Christian holiness • Note the theme of holy living running through 1 Peter 1:13 – 2:12 (1:15-16,19,22; 2:1,5,9,11) • What can we learn from this quotation about holy living today?

  9. “Be Holy” • God’s people can and must live holy lives – lives that are set apart for God’s service and pure (Rom. 6:19,22; Ephesians 1:4; 5:27; 2 Cor. 7:1; Heb. 12:14) • God’s people can remove sin from their lives; God’s people do not have to sin (1 Jn. 2:1)

  10. “As I Am Holy” • God’s people can and must live like God in heaven … God, not man, is our standard of living (Eph. 4:24; Heb. 12:10; 2 Pet. 1:4) • We must be like God: perfect (Mt. 5:48); merciful (Lk. 6:36); holy (1 Pet. 1:15-16); light (1 Jn. 1:5-9); pure and righteous (1 Jn. 3:3,7); love (1 Jn. 3:7-21; 4:17)

  11. Be Holy Means Be Different • “Distinction” is a theme of Leviticus (10:10; 11:47; 20:25; see Ezek. 22:26; 42:40; 44:23; 48:14-15) • We must exhibit a “distinction” in… • Our living (2 Cor. 6:14-7:1; note 6:16 and Lev. 26:12) • Our family (Eph. 5:22 – 6:4) • Our preaching (Acts 20:27) • Our view of the Lord’s church (Mt. 16:18; Ac. 4:12)

  12. How To Be Holy As God is Holy • Remember the salvation for you (Lev. 11:44-45) • Repent of the sin within you (Lev. 5:5) • Remove the uncleanness from among you (Lev. 15:31) • Reject the worldliness outside you (Lev. 18:1-5,24-30) • Recognize the distinction around you (Lev. 10:10-11) • Reverence the Lord God above you (Lev. 19:2,3,4,10,12,14,16,18,25,28,30,31,32,34,36,37)
