So often, when we talk about holiness, we think
about individual holiness. When God chose the
Children of Israel as His people, He was calling a
nation unto himself. In Leviticus 18-20 God gave
the Children of Israel stern warnings not to
adopt the pagan practices of their neighboring
countries, or the countries that they would drive
out of the Promised Land. Sexual immorality
(chapter 18, chapter 20), not training our
children to honor God (chapter 19), not honoring
our neighbors, including the needy, the stranger,
the employee, and those with disabilities
(chapter 19), ignoring God’s laws (chapter 19),
engaging in witchcraft and sorcery (chapter 19),
not honoring our elders (chapter 19), engaging in
cultic activities (chapter 20), and ignoring the
call to holiness would destroy the nation.
Eventually Israel would lose God’s blessings.
America has enjoyed the blessing of God over
the years for the way the nation has honored
God. Could it be that we are on the path to losing
God’s blessing? (Leviticus 18-20)
