"Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy."
Leviticus 19:2
God starts this portion with telling Moses to tell the people that God wants them to follow his example of holiness and then provides a list of example circumstances and actions to apply. There are so many places in the Bible that reveal God's heart and instruction that we should never have to wonder, "What would Jesus do here?" It's all spelled out for us. We know God's will about matters like those included in the passage because there it is in black and white. You can never go wrong when you show others respect, you tell the truth, you give to the poor, you are fair in your business dealings, you treat each other with equality, you love your neighbor, you let bygones be bygones, and you continually follow God. Still feeling a little shaky when it comes to the holiness factor? Trust God. He has got ya covered.
"I am the LORD, who makes you holy."
Leviticus 20:7
