Our Call: Holy Living

In this sermon titled 'Holy Living,' Tim Keller unpacks the biblical concept of holiness as more than mere moral behavior—it is a life of being set apart for God, rooted in a personal relationship of belonging and devotion. Drawing from 1 Peter 1:13–17 and Leviticus, Keller explains that holiness means not just following rules, but living for God and others, not for oneself. He emphasizes that true holiness grows through the mind (thinking deeply about God’s promises), the will (obedience out of love, not duty), and the heart (awe and wonder at Christ’s sacrificial love). The resurrection of Jesus is central to this transformation, as His self-giving love enables believers to live freely, joyfully, and selflessly. Keller challenges listeners to move beyond moralism and embrace a life of radical devotion, where every action—work, relationships, even unspoken desires—is shaped by love for God.
