I Peter 1:15 tells us to “be holy in all your conduct…” For years I read this to mean my conduct created holiness. Get “right and wrong” right, behave right – and then I will be holy. But what if I already am holy because God gave me a new nature that is righteous and holy? Could this then not be directions on how to become holy, but rather a description of how to express the holiness I already have?
