Further Reflection, Discussion, and Application
  1. Review 1 Peter 1:13 – 2:3.
  2. What do you think of when you think of “holiness”?  Why do you think the common cultural views of holiness are what they are?
  3. How does the call to holiness (1 Peter 1:15, 16) center and focus this broader section?
  4. How would you describe God’s holiness?  How does God’s character shape our pursuit of holiness?
  5. Which of the areas mentioned in 1 Peter 1:13-17 are the greatest challenge for your pursuit of holiness?  Why?
  6. From 1:18-21:  What were we redeemed from?  What were we redeemed to?  What were we redeemed with?  How does this redemption connect to holiness?
  7. The theme of love is touched on in 1:22 and 2:1, from different angles?  If these are the mark of your holiness, how are you doing?
  8. One of the other themes that dominates 1:22 – 2:3 is the ‘word of God’ (it is life producing, 1:23; it is permanent, 1:25; it speaks to us personally, 1:25; it is pure, 2:1; it prompts growth, 2:2-3).  How and where are you experiencing these in your life?  How often do you read/ study/ meditate on/ pray over God’s word? How might you learn from one another and encourage one another in this?
  9. What does it mean to ‘taste that the Lord is good’ (2:3)?  Where have you done this or are you now?  What does this ‘taste’ leave you with?
  10. Pray for one another in the pursuit of holiness and share one area where others can pray for you with a specific aspect of your pursuit of holiness?
