...but as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in all your conduct; since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
1 Peter 1:15-16 RSV
https://bible.com/bible/2020/1pe.1.15-16.RSV
Since ancient times I have called men to be holy
It is no different in these days
I am holy and righteous
Be in awe of my deeds and mighty acts
I created the sun and the moon
See, I shall place angels in your midst
And they shall both guard and minister
See I shall cover you with my holiness and righteousness
Seek me with everything you have says the lord
I am not hiding or difficult to find
I am within arms reach
Come hold my hand says the lord and I shall guide you
I make crooked paths straight and rough terrain smooth
You shall be amazed at my outpouring in these days
I shall be like the sun; a bright light for you,
to guide you along your journey
You shall walk where I have walked says the lord.
I was crowned with glory when I overcame death and hades.
See I have made you a prince and priest in my kingdom.
You shall be righteous and holy, for I am holy.
I shall empower with strength and might
You shall shine in the darkness, and these days are indeed dark, it surrounds you; you are in the midst of it.
Yet it shall not overcome you, for I have placed my light within you, says the lord.
I shall show my glory and manifest my power, says the lord.
I shall be among you.
See I have made my Son higher than all
He is above every other name.
Your name shall be blessed and anointed.
I shall cause power to flow through you like never before when you seek my kingdom first.
learn how my kingdom operates and you shall be a powerful agent for good in this dark world.
be of good cheer for I have overcome the world
That ancient foe has been defeated he has no power over you,
for I have placed my power and authority in your hands.
Come, purify your mind from all unrighteousness says the lord.
Be holy for I am holy says the lord.
Amen
