Leviticus 19-21
What God said to me – I know as you read through the various laws and instructions to Israel, some things may seem harsh. I demand perfection in those who are Mine. Do not despair though – I have taken it upon Myself to make you perfect and acceptable to Me. Part of what the law did was to show the impossibility of leading such a life so My people would have to turn to Me to depend upon My mercy and grace. You on your own could never be perfect but I can wash you with the blood of My Son and the power of My word and you are acceptable to Me if you will only believe. I have made provision for you – your part is to accept and obey.
