HOLINESS OF LIFE BEFORE GOD

When we examine the Book of Leviticus carefully, we find holiness to be the main characteristic of God. Our God likes holiness, because He is Holy. And that is why God gave the law about holiness in detail to His people.

Why do you think God considered it very serious to examine the leprosy on the skin, thread or clothes? God is aware that what we wear can be a threat to ourselves. The emphasize is given to the clothes because it touches our skin. Whatever that we “wear” can endanger us.

It’s good if we do a check to all kinds of items we use in our daily life, whether the items are beneficial or harmful to us. If it is harmful to us we need to dispose of it.

In this modern era, we enjoy the convenience of technology that helps us a lot. However, we need to check whether the advancement of technology will help us to get closer to God and build up our quality of faith to God. We need to learn to control the usage and keep our heart's focus to God and maybe we can use the technology to introduce our God to others. 

This is an evidence of the holiness of life in God. Holiness is not limited to things that only look spiritual. We also have a responsibility to use everything to get to know God better and deeper. God wants us to honor Him in His holinessin every aspect of our life. 

The depth of our understanding of God will be reflected in the holiness of our life. This means the more we know God, the more holy our life will be.
