Leviticus 20: ...For I Am the Lord Your God

This chapter ends with the greatest possible motivation to holiness—the holiness of Jehovah God (v. 26; see also v. 7). In the time since God called Moses to realize that he was standing on holy ground—less than one year—Israel had seen the most amazing illustrations of Jehovah’s holiness of all time. “Be holy”—“for I am God, and I am holy”—was the lesson they should take away from all of this. And He was making it possible by taking them away from the unholy nations around them so that they could be His (v. 26). Are you His? Are you holy?
