Christianity: Learning from Leviticus


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
