“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.”
Leviticus 19:2 KJV
All the laws of the Old Testament are fulfilled in Christ. The principles of every law stand for eternity. Humility and submission helps us not to disobey or rebel against God’s laws. Jesus said, “If you love me, you will obey my commandments.” Jesus humbled Himself and submitted to God in all reverence. God is love and He never changed. His code of ethics is to love our neighbour as ourselves, to be generous and compassionate with all. Hating, robbing, cheating, slandering, seeking revenge, walking in unforgiveness, has no place for those who are in Christ. We do not conform to the principles of this world and choose to be a God-pleaser rather than a man-pleaser. God has called us holy as He is holy and learn from Christ Who is gentle and lowly in heart because His yoke is easy and burden is light. That’s how we find rest for our soul. Help us, Holy Spirit. Amen!
