Simplified Meaning:
Living a holy life doesn't mean running away from the world or avoiding everyday life. Instead, it involves trying to live according to the teachings of the Gospel in your daily actions and decisions. Think of someone who follows the values of kindness, honesty, and love in everything they do, whether at work, with friends, or at home. For example, a person who helps their neighbors, stands up for what is right, and treats everyone with respect is practicing true holiness. This kind of life is about making positive choices that reflect your faith, no matter where you are or what you are doing. By doing so, you bring the principles of the Gospel into the real world, making it a better place for everyone around you.
