What does the Bible say about holiness in Leviticus?

Answered in 1 source

The Book of Leviticus teaches that holiness is God's demand and promise to His people, highlighting their separation and purity through faith in Christ.

In Leviticus, God commands His people to be holy because He is holy, as stated in Leviticus 19:2 and 20:26. This call to holiness is not merely a recommendation but a declaration by God, who sovereignly makes His people holy by removing their sins and bestowing upon them the righteousness of Christ. Holiness, as described in Leviticus, involves both separation from sin and the purity that believers receive through the atoning work of Jesus. Without holiness, no one shall see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14). Thus, holiness is deeply tied to the redemptive work of Christ, which reconciles us to God and sets us apart as His treasured possession.
