Our passage today continues to give laws, and tells again and again why God is giving these laws.

• God is holy – This has been a theme throughout the book.  To be holy is to be set apart.  God is set apart from his creation; he is different.  He is full of glory and majesty beyond our comprehension.  God is also set apart from sin; he is morally perfect.  He is absolutely pure, righteous, and good.  Holy, holy, holy – Lord God Almighty!  Take some time to praise your holy God.
• Be holy – God is holy, and he expects his people to be holy.  We are to be set apart to him and from the wickedness all around us.  God wants us to live for him, shunning all evil.  Is that the way you approach each day?
• I am the LORD – Note this repetition throughout your reading today.  Why should you obey?  I am the LORD.  Because I brought you out of Egypt.  Because I am God.  Because who I am and what I do gives me total authority over your life.  Are you submitting to God’s total authority over your life?  What would this look like in your everyday life?
