“You shall not do what is done in the land of Egypt where you lived, nor are you to do what is done in the land of Canaan where I am bringing you; you shall not walk in their statutes.” Leviticus 18:3
What a Vital Lesson! God reminds Israel regarding their Past and warns them regarding their Future. Both were a potential Snare and Stumbling Block. And the same for us! We live in a progressively Sodom and Gomorrah-like world. God has delivered us from it, and its control over us. Let us never forget that. We were “children of wrath, even as the rest”. But be on guard that you don’t replace the past evil World for a new one. Paul uses the phrase “present evil age” to warn the Galatians not to succumb. May God deliver us from both the Past, and the Present, “Evil Age”!!!
