I. Peter calls us to be Holy in repetition of Leviticus 19.2 1 Peter 1.14-16
a. God spends Lev 19 on them being a different kind of worshipper than to which they are accustomed
i. The daily impact of worshipping a Holy God is kindness to His children Leviticus 19.9-18
ii. In God’s country everything should reflect His purity Leviticus 19.19
iii. There are rules given that reflect God’s relationship with His people- different than other religious systems
b. Before the call to holiness, Chapter 20 has 2 sections 1-9; 10-21
i. Molech- The wrong kind of god, do not think carnally, like this. 20.2-3
ii. Sex- unification to the wrong people. Irreverence to the family of God (devaluing of God in them)
1. Also, disregard for maintaining covenant. Sullying of special relationship
II. God is Holy; a different kind of God. He values being unique and His relationship with YOU. SO…
a. You! Be Holy Leviticus 20.22-26
b. God will keep you to Himself and not let you go Deuteronomy 11.18-23
III. Guess what? They don’t follow the rules; they do not stay pure; do not set themselves apart
a. Isaiah tries to warn them 100-200 years before they are “vomited out of the land” Isaiah 52.11
i. Be different; be holy to the LORD. Have a special relationship with Him Isaiah 52.12
b. Remember; Peter has issued the same warning of us 1 Peter 1.14-16
c. What had Isaiah been saying to them? Look forward to feet! Isaiah 52.6-7
i. That good news was Isaiah prophesying about salvation in Jesus Romans 10.13-15
IV. Therefore, the warning to Israel is also applicable to us!
a. Different kind of God 2 Corinthians 6.15-16
