1 Kings 15:33-16:34; Jeremiah 27:1-28:17; Colossians 4:2-18

For the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp… therefore your camp shall be holy, that He may see no unclean thing among you. Deuteronomy 23:14, NKJV

Because God was walking in the midst of Israel’s camp, His holiness required diligent removal of any unclean thing. In the New Testament, the Church, as the body of Christ is pictured as God’s temple with Him dwelling in their midst, and should thus display His holiness. Individually, we are the temple of the Holy Spirit, and should glorify God in our bodies. Whether corporately or individually, we should examine our lives for anything that would defile or mar His holiness. —E. V.

Oh, teach us more of Thy blest ways, Thou holy Lamb of God!
And fix us in Thy grace, as those redeemed by blood. —James Hutton
