Why holiness is beautiful

A few months ago, I met with a local pastor who had known my aunt about 20 years ago. When I mentioned the connection, he looked at me and said, 'Oh yeah. I can see the resemblance.'

We have been born again through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, says Peter at the start of his first epistle (paraphrased). Once we were not a people, but now we are God’s people - and as we grow, we too bear the family resemblance.

Maturing into holiness

'As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy."' (1 Peter 1:14-16)
