In 1 Peter 1:13–21, Peter calls followers of Jesus to live like their hope is real. Because this world is not our permanent home, we must resist being shaped by its desires, priorities, and definitions of success. Instead, we are called to live as holy nonconformists, trusting our Heavenly Father, remembering that our lives matter eternally, and recognizing the immeasurable price Jesus paid to redeem us. We do not live holy lives to earn God’s love; we can live holy lives because we have already been loved and redeemed.
