3. Our God and Our Conduct Our Holy Conduct We must move on from our:
“Former” conduct (1:14; cf. Eph. 4:22)
“Aimless” conduct (1:18; cf. Acts 14:15)
Our “holy” conduct is motivated by:
Appreciation for the character of God
My Father, My Judge, My Redeemer
Awe (reverence, respect) for the greatness of God
Fear of displeasing my Father
Fear of causing my Father pain
Fear of disappointing my Father
Awareness of our temporary “stay” (sojourn) on this earth
Our home is where our Father is (John 14:2)
Our true citizenship is in heaven (Phil. 3:20-21)
