SET APART
Today's reading: Leviticus 19-21
"So set yourselves apart to be holy, for I, the Lord, am your God." Leviticus 20:7 NLT
If you are a saved, born again believer, then you have been given the God-granted holiness by way of Jesus' blood and the gift of salvation.
If you are a saved, born again believer, then you have also been given the opportunity to stand out in the crowd. To swim upstream, per se. To not blend in with society.
