Children Called to Be Saints

«Be holy, for I am holy.» 1 Peter 1:16

What does it mean to be holy? To be holy means to be set apart from the world for God. It means to do what God desires.

When you look around you, there are many things that make God’s heart sad. People smoke, drink, say ugly words, steal, lie. And God calls everyone to be different from that. He wants us to be happy.

Do you want to be holy? How can we be holy? When we let Jesus live in our heart, He makes us want to be like Him. Then we won’t be like other people who do things that upset God.

I want to be holy! We need to be with Jesus, talk to Him, listen to His stories, pray, and sing every day, and then we will become more like Him.

Let’s practice!

Draw a heart where Jesus lives and repeat the verse: Be holy, for I am holy. 1 Peter 1:16
