ALL IN ALL IN CHRIST


And you shall keep My statutes, and perform them: I am the LORD who sanctifies you. (Lev.20:8)


So God, who knows the heart, acknowledged them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He did to us, and made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. (Ac.15:8-9)


God revealed Himself as the Great Sanctifier of His people. He not only is holy, He makes you holy. This is the theme of the entire book of Leviticus.


The Lord God became the law-giver for His people. When the Israelites were under Egypt, they followed the Egyptian laws. When God delivered them, He became their ultimate Ruler. As every ruler has his own laws and rules for his kingdom, God gave His rules to His people. Throughout the book of Leviticus, God repeatedly said, “I am the Lord” (Lev.19:2,4,10,12,14,16,18,25,28,30,31,32,34,36,37 etc.).


All in all: Since the Israelites came into God’s kingdom, He separated and sanctified them from all the other nations. He was their Guide in spirituality (Lev.1-8), their Dietician and Gastro-Entomologist

(Lev.11), their Gynecologist and Pediatrician (Lev.12), their Dermatologist (Lev.13), their Sanitary Inspector and Hygienist (Lev.14), their Urologist and Sexologist (Lev.18), their Moral Instructor (Lev.19), their Supreme Court (Lev.20), their Master of Religious Ceremonies (Lev.23), their Employer, their Land-Owner, their Agricultural Officer, their Geologist (Lev.25), and their Reformer (Lev.26)! In short, He was their All in all!


In Christ, in addition to all this, He has become your Father, your Groom, your Best Friend, your Indweller and your All in all.
