The Unknown Benefit of the Neighbor Command


Neighboring is God’s way for us to show the world who He is.


[2] “Speak to all the congregation of the people of Israel and say to them, You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy.

Leviticus 19:2 (ESV)


Levitical Pattern: An ethical command coupled with, “I am the Lord your God,” recalls the main point of the passage, “You shall be holy, for I the Lord God and holy” 


[18] You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD. Leviticus 19:18 (ESV)


Being holy as God is holy means caring for God’s creation as he cares for it… Neighboring is a holy act as God’s representative.
