Bible Verse
“You are to be holy to me because I, The LORD, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be my own.” – Leviticus 20:26
Meaning
The book of Leviticus is deeply rooted in laws and rules, but in the midst of these rules and laws, we find a higher calling – a calling to holiness. In Leviticus 20:26, God is reminding the Israelites, and by extension us, of the reason behind these rules. He is Holy, and He requires His people to be holy as well.
This assertion isn’t just about adhering to a rigid set of rules, but instead, underscores our special relationship with God. Being set apart means being distinguishable from the world not only by our actions but by our hearts’ condition.
Moreover, this verse is an encouraging reassurance of our chosen status. We are God’s people, distinct and unique, meant to reflect His holiness in our daily lives.
