1 Peter 1:13 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14 as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; 15 but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy."

One time, when I was younger I got permission to go over to a friends house, and my friend and I ended up going somewhere else. We did exactly what my dad and his dad told us not to do. His dad passed by where we were, and let's just say I ended up with swats and got grounded.

Students, disobeying God is sin. Romans 6:23 "says for the wages of sin is death", so disobeying God, or your parents, or someone responsible for you is sin, and you see where sin gets you.

The next part of 1 Peter 1:14 is "not conforming yourselves to the former lusts. Lust can be more than just one thing. Lust can be drinking, smoking, gossip, ect. But the scripture talks about not conforming to the former, so when you get saved, when you ask God to come into your heart, he doesn't want us to go back to our former cussing, our former sins.

The bible says "greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world." I believe in you guys, LIFEHOUSE, and I pray for ya'll and love ya'll.
