APR. 2 – NO SHADOW

04/02                   1 Peter 1:15-16

“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.’”

  1. Holiness is not just inward but shown in conduct – It affects daily living.
  2. God is the source of holiness – We are called to imitate Him.
  3. Holiness requires intentionality – It does not happen by accident.
  4. The command is repeated from the Old Testament – It is timeless.

NO SHADOW

(Verse 1)
The One who called us walks in light,
No shadow lingers in His steps,
He calls us higher, deeper still,
To follow where His Spirit leads.

(Verse 2)
Not by word, not by thought,
But in the way we move and breathe,
In every step, in every work,
Let His holiness be seen.

(Verse 3)
No compromise, no turning back,
The world will pull, but He remains,
His ways are firm, His path is clear,
He calls us to be the same.

(Verse 4)
Let every choice reflect His love,
Let every moment show His grace,
For we are called, we are set,
To walk in holiness each day.

(Chorus)
Be holy as He is holy,
Not in word, but in deed,
Set apart for His purpose,
Walking in the light of His way.
