FROM MY READING THIS WEEK

Leviticus 20:26 And ye shall be holy unto me for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.  It is an Old Testament passage but the truth is the same in the New Testament, we as believers are a separated people.  Separated from the world and separated unto the LORD.  We have been severed from the unclean, our condition before we were saved, and made clean in Christ, dedicated to God.  Because God is Holy, all of His possessions are holy.  Notice the word “mine”.  Because God is Holy, He demands we should be holy and has provided everything we need.  According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue.  2 Peter 1:3  A holy life can only be lived in surrender to the will of God moment by moment.
