As Obedient Children

1 Peter 1: 13 - 16

“Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14 as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; 15 but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”

God desires us to live a holy life. He has paid the price for us so that we can live as obedient children, "not conforming or continuing in our former lusts".  In order to do this we must “rest our hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to us” through Jesus Christ.  Our plea should always be to be more like Jesus!
