God’s Standard of Holiness

"Ye shall be holy; for I the Lord your God am holy." The words were not merely an injunction, but an enabling act to Israel of old. It was expressive of God's character and man's standard. It is God's character and man's standard still. The apostle Peter echoes the same thought and supports it by quoting the above scripture. Compare Lev. 19:2 with 1 Peter 1:15. God's standard for His children is the same in all dispensations, and His power to enable man to meet this standard is free and undiminished.
