3/13/2024 0 Comments ObedienceThere is no holiness without obedience. As Peter hints in verse 2, the Spirit’s sanctifying work is done so that we may be obedient to Christ. The heroes of the faith "obeyed by faith" (Hebrews 11) - obedience is the pathway to holiness. Paul gives us some advice as pertains to the steps to holiness: Prepare your minds. Think about the things that would please God. Have self-control in your thought life, your language, your interactions with others, in everything you do.
Questions for further thought: 1. Where do your thoughts naturally go? 2. How can you "renew your mind"? Challenge: Pray for the ability to control your thought life. The world holds many distractions and tempts us to engage in thoughts and desires that are contrary to God. Be on the lookout and flee from things that lead you away from God.
