Be Holy In All Your Conduct

-June 23, 2025-

Good morning beloved, happy Monday,

“But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, ‘Be holy, for I am holy.”

(1 Peter 1:15-16).

Our example has always been Christ. As we read the gospels we discover how Jesus lived and conducted Himself in this world. He showed us how to live. He practiced what He preached.

The standard of living is holiness. Holiness has two aspects: being separated from the world and being set apart for the Lord. It covers both what to turn from and what to turn to.

Peter spent three years with Jesus and he learned so much from Him. We are to be holy in all our conduct. The word conduct is defined as, “the manner in which a person behaves, especially on a particular occasion or in a particular context.”

Parents often tell their children, “Be on your best behavior.” It may be going over to someone’s home, to school, or out to a restaurant. It is good to be good and holy on special occasions, but our standard is at all times. Peter says, “in all your conduct. That means every day not just on Sundays.

We will never be perfect this side of heaven, but we strive with His help to be holy always and in all ways. It is a real challenge to be holy in a an unholy world. There is so much moral filth all around us; we are bombarded with it. The Holy Bible helps us to know how to live, and the Holy Spirit teaches how to e holy.

Have a blessed day conducting yourself in holiness. Stay safe and healthy.

God tells us, “Be holy, for I am holy.”
