Why We Must Be Holy

"You must be holy." - LEVITICUS 11:45.

IN THE book of Leviticus, holiness is referred to more often than in any other book of the Bible.  Since this quality is a requirement for all genuine worshippers of Jehovah, understanding and appreciating Leviticus will help to prove ourselves holy. 

The book of Leviticus, written by the prophet Moses, is part of "all Scripture" that is  beneficial for teaching. (2 Timothy 3:16) Jehovah's name appears an average of ten times in each chapter of the Book.  Getting the sense of Leviticus will strengthen us to avoid doing anything that would bring reproach on the divine name.   (Leviticus 22:32)  The book's frequent use of the words "I am Jehovah" Should remind us to obey God.  In this article and the next, let us enjoy some sparkling gems found in Leviticus, a gift from God that helps us to engage in holy woship.
