Cleansing

 Scripture:

““‘Thus you are to set the Israelites apart from their impurity so that they do not die in their impurity by defiling my tabernacle which is in their midst.” ‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭15‬:‭31‬ ‭NET‬‬

Observation:

God has spent the last several chapters talking about cleansing impurities in our bodies, our clothes, our houses, etc. He went through a long list of things that would make us unclean, and therefore, not allowed to enter His presence. There were strict regulations for coming into the Tabernacle. These were given so that they would not die in the Lord’s presence.

Application:

My application today is to thank Jesus for being the ultimate sacrifice to get my sins and impurities cleansed because of His precious blood. So many things make us unclean, but Jesus died so we could be free from this list of obligations by putting our trust in His perfect sacrifice. It should also make us understand that God is a holy God and doesn’t like us to bring sin and iniquity or uncleanness into His presence. We may not need purification rituals, but we should take very seriously cleansing ourselves of all unrighteousness.

Prayer:

Father, purify my life this morning. Cleanse me from all unrighteousness and let me live a pure life, filled with Your favor and blessing. Thank You for the cross. Thank You Jesus for fulfilling the Law and making a way for us to have access into the holy of holies. You are incredible and I appreciate all You have done for us. Let my life be an offering for all You have done for me.

Yours Forever,

Jeff
