Leviticus-22

Walking in God's Holiness: A Devotional Study on Leviticus 22​

Introduction​

The book of Leviticus is a guidebook for living in God's holiness. As we navigate through the laws and commands, we find a consistent theme: living in a set-apart relationship with God. Leviticus 22, in particular, highlights the significance of holiness in our everyday lives. Let's explore this passage, gleaning insights on how we, as believers, should view and implement the call to holiness.

Section 1: The Sabbath and Appeasing God (Leviticus 22:1-8)​

Devotional Thought: God designated the Sabbath day as holy, instructing us to rest and celebrate. It is through this day of rest that we acknowledge and appreciate God's divine rest that feeds our souls. As we rest, let's reflect on how we can more genuinely honor and give thanks to God.

Reflection Questions:

  • How do you honor God during your Sabbath Day?
  • What ways can you make your Sabbath more meaningful as a time to rest, appreciate, and connect with God?

Section 2: The Holiness of God's House (Leviticus 22:9-16)​

Devotional Thought: God's dwelling place, the Tabernacle, is holy, and everything that enters and exits must be evaluated for holiness. We are called to live in a set-apart relationship and conduct ourselves accordingly. As we approach God's holy dwelling place, let's reflect on how we can strive for holiness in every aspect of our lives.

Reflection Questions:

  • How does your behavior and dress honor the holiness of God's house?
  • How can you grow in your walk of holiness, representing God's holiness in every aspect of your life?

Section 3: The Holiness of God's People (Leviticus 22:17-33)​

Devotional Thought: God instructed Aaron and his sons, the priests, to distinguish between holy and unholy, clean and unclean. This distinction highlights the importance of setting apart ourselves as God's holy people. In our daily lives, let's reflect on our choices, acknowledging that we belong to God's holy people.

Reflection Questions:

  • In what areas of your life do you need to distinguish between the holy and unholy, clean and unclean?
  • How can you constantly remind yourself of your calling to holiness?

Conclusion:​

The calling to holiness is a life-long pursuit, and the guidance of Leviticus 22 serves as a reminder of its significance. Our ancient ancestors' commitment to holiness and distinction between set-apart and unholy, clean and unclean, serves as an example for us today. May we grow in our walk of holiness, being set apart as Christ's disciples in this modern age. Let's approach our everyday lives with the reverence and distinction of God's holy people, reflecting His holy image to the world around us.
