He is Holy, We Should Be Holy - Leviticus 19:3-8
The passage from Leviticus 19:3-8 emphasizes the importance of holiness and obedience to God's statutes. It warns against defiling oneself with abominations that led to the expulsion of nations from the land. The text also highlights the significance of revering parents, avoiding idolatry, and observing rituals with respect to offerings. The consequences of disobeying these commands are severe, as individuals can be cut off from their people for profaning what is sacred to the Lord.

He is Holy/We Should Be Holy Leviticus 19:3-8
24Do not make yourselves unclean by any of these things, for by all these the nations I am driving out before you have become unclean, 25and the land became unclean, so that I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out its inhabitants.26But you shall keep my statutes and my rules and do none of these abominations, either the native or the stranger who sojourns among you27(for the people of the land, who were before you, did all of these abominations, so that the land became unclean), God.
28lest the land vomit you out when you make it unclean, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.29For everyone who does any of these abominations, the persons who do them shall be cut off from among their people.30So keep my charge never to practice any of these abominable customs that were practiced before you, and never to make yourselves unclean by them: I am the LORD your God. (Leviticus 18:24-30)
3Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father, and you shall keep my Sabbaths: I am the LORD your God.4Do not turn to idols or make for yourselves any gods of cast metal: I am the LORD your God. 5 When you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD, you shall offer it so that you may be accepted.6It shall be eaten the same day you offer it or on the day after, and anything left over until the third day shall be burned up with fire.7If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is tainted; it will not be accepted,
8and everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned what is holy to the LORD, and that person shall be cut off from his people. (Leviticus 19:3-8)
1. Reverethe Lord! (3-4) Revere your mother and father. Revere means to fear. (deep respect) Revere does not mean compliance to rules but honoring your parents through your individual actions.
1. Reverethe Lord! (3-4) Parents must teach their children to honor and revere them. Not by words alone Loving correction Consistent faithfulness that is not flawless but honest.
1. Reverethe Lord! (3-4) Revere your mother and father as an adult Making decisions that still bring honor to your parents. Looking after and taking care of their needs.
1. Reverethe Lord! (3-4) Revere our neighbors Romans 12:10 Love one another with brotherly affection. OUTDO one another in showing HONOR.
1. Reverethe Lord! (3-4) Keep the Sabbath. Sabbath means to rest. Romans 14:5-6
5One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.6The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God. (Romans 14:5-6)
1. Reverethe Lord! (3-4) Keep the Sabbath. It means more than rest but also focusing on worship, thanksgiving, and dependence upon God. Take a rest in your work week. Make efforts to distinct the day from the rest of your work week.
1. Reverethe Lord! (3-4) Do not turn to idols. Misguided application of trust and praise.
2. Acceptable Vows (5-8) Three occasions for peace offerings Thanksgiving Vow Freewill Peace offering permitted the one making the sacrifice the opportunity to eat the meat.
2. Acceptable Vows (5-8) Twofold Purpose of text. God expects obedience to His commands which signifies their understanding of the holiness of God. Vows that are not followed up with obedience are guilty of sin.
2. Acceptable Vows (5-8) Do not be hasty in making vows to God if you do not have the surrender to follow through. Grace abounds when we do not follow through in a vow.
Application God has called us to be set apart from our culture. How can you take one step of obedience today that will bring you further along in your journey of holiness (revering parents, sabbath, vows)? Grace, grace, and more grace abounds.
