1 Peter 1:15–16 ESV but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”Romans 12:1–2 ESV I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.Objections and Counterarguments"I am not perfect; how can I be holy?"1 Corinthians 12:9 ESV to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,"The world is full of temptation."1 Corinthians 10:13 ESV No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it."Isn't holiness only for some people or leaders?"Titus 2:11–12 ESV For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age,True or False:Holiness is only attainable by a select few.Holiness requires the empowering of the Holy Spirit.Question #1Reflect on the concept of holiness, how can believers practically strive for holiness in their daily lives?Question #2How does the empowering of the Holy Spirit facilitate the process of becoming holy?Question #3What role does faith play in overcoming the challenges of temptation and imperfection? 1 Peter 1:15–16ESV
