Leviticus 19:2 “Speak unto all the congregation of the
children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the Lord your
God am holy.”
The
Lord is holy, and He is the one who has all authority. Our actions, same as
Israel’s, must be predicated on that fact. The Supreme Being, the Creator, the
Sustainer, and the ultimate authority of all is holy. Therefore, our lives must
be that which fall in line with the Creator’s purpose for us: “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory
and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure
they are and were created” (Rev. 4:11). He is worthy of such from His
creation, because He is holy. He requires of His people in every age to be set
apart (holy) in character reflecting His character.
