1 Peter 1:14,15 - As Children of Obedience

1 Peter 1:14,15 -  As children of obedience, not conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your ignorance, but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior. -- World English.

These words are not spoken to the world, but the regenerated child of God. As children of God, we must be fully, wholly obedient to our Heavenly Father. It is in our sinful flesh corrupted by Adam's sin that we fall short in full obedience. (Romans 5:12-19; 8:3,20-22) Otherwise, if the regenerated child of God sins, it is fully willful sin, and for such there will never be another sacrifice given. (Hebrews 10:26) Nevertheless, the new creature in  Christ is called upon to bring the body into subjection to the new mind in Christ (Romans 6:18,19; 1 Corinthians 9:27), and thus our behavior should be holy, in harmony with our consecration to the Heavenly Father. Thus, we should seek to know God's will regarding anything that we do, say or even think, and bring ourselves into harmony with His will in every way possible.
