-LEVITICUS 11:41-47
There are those
who are unnerved about what they refer
to as the legalistic nature of the Christian life. They feel they cannot
bear with a system that seems to curtail their liberty and restrict
their lifestyle. They want to be free to do whatever they like whenever
they feel.
His distaste for uncleanness because He wants His people to
be holy, set apart and unique just as He is holy.
The Lord does not want
true Christians to mix up with their pagan neighbours, get involved in
their idol worship or compromise with them in sin.
God called Israel out of idolatrous Egypt and set them apart as a unique
nation, dedicated to worshipping Him alone.
The Law He gave them was to
help them remain separated socially and spiritually. This is the same
calling we have as Christians today. We are to remain spiritually
isolated from the wickedness and corruptions of this world. Since He has
redeemed us to Himself, He wants us to be wholly dedicated and holy to
Him. This should not be difficult as some people think. God does not
expect us to accomplish this by our own power; hence, He made provision
for us through the death of His holy Son, Jesus.
As we accept the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour and willingly set
ourselves apart from the pollutions of this world, we will receive grace
and power to live a radiant, holy and victorious life.
Thought for the day: You can’t belong to God and be unlike God. He is holy, so must you.

Prayer: "For I am the LORD your God: ye
shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am
holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping
thing that creepeth upon the earth" (Leviticus 11:44).
