The Apostle Peter invites us to live a holy and blameless life in absolutely everything that we do. God is holy and the only thing that is expected from each one that purports to say that serving God is that this person is also holy. After knowing the Jesus we no longer have the right to live the same way as other people. As hard as it is to hear about it, this is something that we have no choice. Or am I willing to live a holy life in my way of living or I'm not really willing to go to heaven. To be holy is not an option, but a command. I can only say that I am closer to God if I present my life always holy and righteous before God and men. I have no right to deceive; I have the right to take what does not belong to me; I have no right to be with a woman other than my wife. If God is holy I must also be holy. There is no middle ground. There is no other possibility.
But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 1 Peter 1:15,16
