“For I am the Lord your God. Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am holy.” Leviticus 11:45a
When you read through the Old Testament, you are overwhelmed with all the details of the Law. Moses, here in Leviticus, summarizes it with this statement; be Holy, for I am Holy!
Not much has changed since then. Though much of the Law has been fulfilled in Christ, what God expects of His People is the same – Holiness! His primary and ultimate goal for each of His Children is that we become Holy!!! Essentially, that we become like Jesus.
And that word Consecrate is Our Duty. It means Separate our self, come apart, be distinct. May God give us willing hearts to strive after it!
