The holiness of Christ admits us into God’s holy presence. “He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this once for all when he offered up himself .” – Hebrews 7:27 |
We must grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as we live in God’s presence. “Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn! But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. Therefore, beloved, since you are waiting for these, be diligent to be found in him without spot or blemish, and at peace. And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures. You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, take care that you are not carried away with the error of lawless people and lose your own stability. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.” – 2 Peter 3:11-18 |
Are you cultivating a life of holiness? What practices in your life remind you of your special relationship with God and His special purposes for you? How are the purposes of the various sacrifices in Leviticus realized in your own experience? How are they realized in the life of your community of faith? What does such a life look like today? How would anyone recognize that you are set apart to God and His purposes for you? Do you recognize those things? |
