God calls His people to be holy and distinct from the world around them, not conforming to its values or practices. This holiness is reflected in our daily lives through purity, justice, compassion, and love demonstrating that we belong to a holy God.
When God brought Israel to Mt. Sinai He first reminded them of His rescue then called them to obedience, promising that those who keep His covenant will be His treasured possession, a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. As God’s people rescued by grace, we too are called to worship, witness, and pursue holiness so that our lives point others to the glory of Christ.
The organization and government of the church is a gift from God, an expression of His love and care for His people. Through this structure, Jesus rules over His church, providing guidance and support for our spiritual well-being.
