Faithful Exiles: Having the Right Mindset

1 Peter 1:13–16 calls us to prepare our minds for action and pursue holiness with intention. True faith demands more than belief—it requires focus, discipline, and transformation. To “gird up the loins of our minds” means freeing ourselves from fear and distraction, anchoring our hope in Christ. Holiness isn’t perfection but a daily renewal as we become more like Him. When we see that Christ is better than anything the world offers, living holy becomes our joy and worship.
