A Holy People

1 Peter 2:1-10

About the Sermon

In the last several sermons, we’ve gazed upon the Holy God, and we’ve seen that He has made a way for sinners to be made holy so that we might stand in His presence. As a result, we are to live holy lives which reflect and carry out the identity we’ve been given. But why is God doing all of this? Why does He even care about rescuing messed up people? Why is it so important that He give rebels a holy identity? Through this sermon we’ll look at God’s plan to create and gather A Holy People.

About the Series

Holiness is a word which stirs up a number of reactions and emotions. It also exposes a lot of misunderstanding and misperception. To get a grasp on what it means, we have to turn to the God who is described in Scripture as “The Holy One.” In him we begin to see what holiness truly is, and from him we begin to learn how we can be holy. In this series we survey Scripture’s teaching which shows us that the holy God is beautiful and terrifying in his splendor; he transforms unclean rebels into beautiful trophies of his grace; their holy lives are beautiful as they reflect God’s saving work; and these individuals are gathered together into a holy people who will dwell with the holy God forever.
