About This Message
The message challenges the spiritual apathy that often creeps into our lives when we view holiness as a chore rather than a calling. True holiness isn't about following a list of rules to earn God's favor; it is about identity. Drawing from 1 Peter 1:10-25, we examine:
The Beauty of the Process: Why we should stop resisting and start embracing the sanctification process as a gift that brings us closer to God.
The End of Apathy: Moving from a "checked-out" faith to a "girded mind" (v. 13), being sober-minded and fully engaged in our walk with Christ.
Seeking the Presence: How the pursuit of holiness is actually a pursuit of God's presence, leading us to love one another deeply from a pure heart (v. 22).
Holiness isn't a burden to carry; it is the natural byproduct of knowing who you are in Christ. It is a transformation that causes us to look more like our Father and less like the world we’ve been called out of.
