Salvation is a done deal in Jesus, but growth is a work in progress. Meet Yahweh Mekoddishkem, the Lord who sanctifies.

1. Leviticus 20:7-8
Consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am
the Lord your God. Keep My decrees and follow
them. I am the Lord, who makes you holy.

2. Leviticus 20:22-23
Keep all My decrees and laws and follow them,
so that the land where I am bringing you to live
may not vomit you out. You must not live
according to the customs of the nations I am
going to drive out before you. Because they did
all these things, I abhorred them.

3. Leviticus 20:24
But I said to you, ‘You will possess their land; I
will give it to you as an inheritance, a land
flowing with milk and honey.’ I am the Lord your
God, who has set you apart from the nations.

4. Leviticus 20:25-26
You must therefore make a distinction between
clean and unclean animals and between unclean
and clean birds. Do not defile yourselves by any
animal or bird or anything that moves along the
ground—those which I have set apart as unclean
for you. You are to be holy to me because I, the
Lord, am holy, and I have set you apart from the
nations to be My own.

5. Your life is under CONSTRUCTION.
Sanctify means being set apart from that which is
COMMON in order to be set apart for or used by
God.
“Sanctification is learning to LIVE and LOVE like
Jesus” (George Koch)
The Bible holds before us a
high IDEAL of what it means
to follow Jesus.

6. We are not all priests vocationally, but we are to
be priests RELATIONALLY.
Go into the land, but live DIFFERENTLY there.
Inherent in this name of God
is God’s DESIGN for you to
be set apart from the world.

7. So why do we not see more of GOD in His people?
As much as we want change we run back to the
FAMILIAR. We may want change, but we want the
familiar more.
God’s design is for the purpose
of REVEALING Himself through
you in everyday life.
Devotion to God in the context
of life is, I do God’s WORK in
God’s WAY.

8. Much of Christian growth is stifled simply because
we are too TIED to this world with little to nothing
left to give to God, however much we want to.
You are not on your OWN in
becoming like Christ, yet it is
something you must
CONSECRATE yourself for.
