February 22, 2025 - Don’t Live Like You Used To

LEVITICUS 17:1-19:37

Chronological Bible Readings

Leviticus 18:1 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘I am the Lord your God. 3 You must not do as they do in Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. Do not follow their practices. 4 You must obey my laws and be careful to follow my decrees. I am the Lord your God. 5 Keep my decrees and laws, for the person who obeys them will live by them. I am the Lord.

Do not do as they do. Don't do what the people around you are doing that would violate God's law. The same thing is true for us today. We are not to live according to the world around us. According to where we used to live before Jesus but according to the new life we have in Christ. We are to live for Christ, in Christ, and like Christ.
