  1. Thesis: We can imitate God's holiness by separating ourselves from the sinful ways of the world. Baptist

    Introduction: Whose example shapes our choices when everyone around us treats sin as normal? Speaking to Israel, God grounded holiness in his character and his claim upon his people. Leviticus 20:26 teaches this guiding truth: We can imitate God's holiness by separating ourselves from the sinful ways of the world.

    1. Separating from sinful ways imitates God's holiness because his character, not surrounding culture, establishes our standard (Leviticus 20:26).
        A. God's declaration, “I the Lord am holy,” makes his own perfection the measure of holy living.
        B. The command, “You shall be holy to me,” requires personal obedience rather than conformity to popular opinion.
        C. Examine your choices by God's revealed Word, refusing to excuse sins that your surroundings celebrate.
    2. Separating from sinful ways imitates God's holiness because his separating work calls his people into distinct living (Leviticus 20:26).
        A. God tells Israel, “I ... have separated you from the peoples,” grounding their distinct identity in his action.
        B. Their separation demanded rejection of surrounding wickedness, not confidence that their ancestry made them morally superior.
        C. We likewise reject sinful practices without despising our neighbors or withdrawing from opportunities to show God's love.
    3. Separating from sinful ways imitates God's holiness because belonging to him demands allegiance expressed through obedient living (Leviticus 20:26).
        A. The purpose, “that you should be mine,” shows that separation serves fellowship with God, not self-righteous isolation.
        B. Holiness therefore involves more than abandoning evil; it means devoting our desires, relationships, and habits to God.
        C. Christ's self-giving similarly produces a purified people belonging to him, eager for good works rather than sin (Titus 2:14).

    Conclusion: God's character supplies our standard, his separating work establishes our distinct calling, and belonging to him gives obedience its purpose. This week, identify one sinful pattern you have normalized, confess it, and replace it with a concrete act of obedience. Love your neighbors while refusing their sinful ways, and tell them about Christ. Separation cannot purchase salvation: if you have not trusted Jesus, turn from sin and receive him by faith. Believers, pursue holiness not to earn God's claim upon you, but because you belong to him.
