Jesus' Virtuous Life

God wants his children to live holy lives. Throughout the Bible we have several clear calls to holy living. Jesus is our prime example of living a virtuous life. Even though he was fully human (just as we are) and tempted in every way, he battled against sin and overcame every temptation. His dedication to purity (in heart and conduct) and his emphasis on right living that flows from a Godly heart gave way to the holiness tradition within Christianity. Today, disciples of Jesus would do well to follow his example of purity and holy living.
