As believers, we have an obligation to represent God here on the earth. We cannot misrepresent Him through our actions. In his letter, Paul informed Titus of a group of people who claimed to know God, but their lifestyle contradicted that. Their actions showed that they really did not have a relationship with God. I John 5:18 tells us that “anyone born of God does not [deliberately and knowingly] practice committing sin.” We are born of God, and His life is on the inside of us. Since His life and nature is on the inside of us, we ought to live a sanctified and holy life. There are no perfect people, and we all should strive for perfection. God looks at the heart. If we have a heart for God and desire to serve Him, our lifestyle and behavior will get in line with what is on the inside of us. We will begin to live holy, even as He is holy.
