Leviticus 18:26-19:2 –
But you must keep my decrees and my laws. The
native-born and the foreigners residing among you must not do any of these
detestable things, for all these things were done by the people who lived
in the land before you, and the land became defiled. And if you defile the
land, it will vomit you out as it vomited out the nations that were
before you. “‘Everyone who does any of these detestable things—such persons
must be cut off from their people. Keep my requirements and do not
follow any of the detestable customs that were practiced before you came and do
not defile yourselves with them. I am the Lord your
God.’” The Lord said to
Moses, “Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: ‘Be
holy because I, the Lord your
God, am holy.
Exodus
15:11 – Who among
the gods is like you, Lord? Who is like you—majestic in holiness, awesome in
glory, working wonders?
1 Peter 1:15-16 – But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you
do; for
it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”
Leviticus 11:44 – I am the Lord your
God; consecrate yourselves and
be holy, because I am holy. Do
not make yourselves unclean by any creature that moves along the ground.
Application:
- · The Lord, who tolerates no rivals, defeated all the gods of Egypt and their worshipers.
- · To be holy is to be set apart—set apart from sin and impurity, and set apart to God.
- · Because of who God is and what He has done, His people must dedicate themselves fully to Him.
