“Moshe said these things to Aharon, his sons and all the people of Israel.”
Leviticus 21:24 CJB
What is Moshe saying? That we are to be holy, set apart and not ordinary!
“On the contrary, following the Holy One who called you, become holy yourselves in your entire way of life; since the Tanakh says, You are to be holy because I am holy.”
1 Peter 1:15-16 CJB
God isn’t saying be holy, so you can be an overly pious person! He’s is asking us to be holy (not ordinary) like the rest of the unbelieving world! He wants us to be special, set apart for Him!
“Because you are a people set apart as holy for Adonai your God. Adonai your God has chosen you to be His own unique treasure out of all the peoples on the face of the earth.”
Deuteronomy 14:2 CJB
God desires us to be set apart from the world and desires us to live a God—fearing special life in Him!
Let’s have a blessed day living for Adonai!
