Sermon Bible Commentary - Leviticus 20:26

Leviticus 20:26 I. The holiness of saints depends upon no outward condition, requires no special gift of nature or of Providence, of understanding or wisdom, nay, I may say, of grace. It need not be shown in any one form; it does not require the largeness of any one grace; still less does it consist in austere sadness, or stern constraint, or rigid severity as to ourselves or others, except as to our sins. The blessed company of the redeemed saints have and have not found one road to heaven.... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Leviticus 20:1-27

Chapter 20Chapter twenty, now God begins to get a little heavier. In chapter twenty God goes over some of the things He dealt with in chapter eighteen, only in chapter twenty telling that the violators of these things should be put to death. I know a lot of these sob sisters are crying out against capital punishment.

Leviticus 20:2-27He shall surely be put to death.Penal sanctionsThis chapter, directly or indirectly, casts no little light on some most fundamental and practical questions regarding the administration of justice in dealing with criminals. We may learn here what, in the mind of the King of kings, is the primary object of the punishment of criminals against society.

Leviticus 20:26Ye shall be holy unto Me: for I the Lord am holy.Holiness enforcedI. Let us endeavour to explain the meaning, and the force of that reason for which holiness is so universally enjoined. “Ye shall be holy: for I the Lord your God am holy.” And so God’s holiness is made the motive for ours. And why? The Lord our God is holy; therefore should we labour to become so likewise, in order that we may become like Him in the most lovely and glorious of His attributes. We should labour to... read more
