[Sung Psalm: 99] "You shall be holy, for I am holy." How do you react to this call? Do you say, "that's impossible!"? On one sense, that's the right reaction – for no one can be holy exactly the way God is. But that is NOT what Peter is saying. God is not saying "be holy exactly as I am holy". No, God says, "You shall be holy, for I am holy." Because I am holy, therefore you are to be holy. This sort of holiness is what God calls us to. And if God has called us to be holy, then let us believe his promises, and in faith, obey his commands. So what does it mean to "be holy, for I am holy"?...
