What do we learn from Leviticus?
- Our God is a Holy God
- Everything about Him is Holy
- His Wisdom
- His Power
- His Judgement
- And His love
- God wants His people to be Holy
- “Be Holy for, I am Holy” is said five times in scripture
- What health is to the body, holiness is to the soul, and the Great Physician can give us the spiritual health and wholeness we need
- Need to have a godly character as well as verbal witness
- Holiness begins at the altar
- The book of Leviticus doesn’t begin with a prayer meeting, a praise service or a church meeting. It begins at the altar where innocent sacrifices shed their blood for guilty sinners.
- Holiness involves obedience and discipline
- Disciplined obedience is a part of holy living
- Need to demonstrate the biblical truths in our everyday lives
- Holiness must be from God and be genuine
- Satan is a deceiver and we must be careful to detect and reject his counterfeits.
- Holiness involves priestly mediation
- There can be no growth in holiness apart from fellowship with Jesus Christ
- Unless we ‘take time to be holy’ and commune with God, we will never grow in holiness or likeness to Jesus Christ.
- Lack of holiness effects our land
- Holiness isn’t a private affair
- We need each other to help us in our journey of life with Jesus
- We need community
- Holiness glorifies the Lord
- Holiness means living to please God alone
