Leviticus 6: Most Holy

“Say to Aaron and his sons: ‘These are the regulations for the sin offering: The sin offering is to be slaughtered before the Lord in the place the burnt offering is slaughtered; it is most holy.'” -Leviticus 6:25

One thing is clear in Leviticus: holiness is important to God. Each offering includes steps for proper preparation, instructions are given for prayers, and even clothing is considered holy. But what is holiness?

Holiness is simply to be set apart. In this case, it means to be set apart of use by God. The apostle Paul spoke in Romans 12:1-2 about believers making their lives a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable in God’s sight. These offerings in Leviticus foreshadow the calling given to us in this day.

We may consider our lives ordinary or even unimportant. They’re not. We are calling not only to live holy, but to be holy. We are to live set apart from the destructive habits of this world and to live a life pleasing to the Lord. Our goal is not to escape the hard realities of this life or to seek to please ourselves. We live “most holy” to the Lord. You were created on purpose and for a purpose. Live holy before the Lord today.
