God’s Presence Changes the Way His People Live (Leviticus 19:9-18)

“Holiness is thus not so much an abstract or a mystic idea, as a regulative principle in the everyday lives of men and women. ... Holiness is thus attained not by flight from the world, nor by monk-like renunciation of human relationships of family or station, but by the spirit in which we fulfill the obligations of life in its simplest and commonest details: in this way—by doing justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with our God—is everyday life transfigured.”— J. H. Hertz, Leviticus God’s Presence Changes the Way His People Live (Leviticus 19:9-18) Rev. Bradley Barnes Leviticus 19:9-18
