“I Am Jehovah Your God”

Text: Leviticus 11:44
Introduction:
  I. There are a lot of people today who do not believe 
     that there is a God.
 II. This goes against many plain passages in the Bible 
     which there is a God.
III. Our text is one of these passages.
 IV. This morning, I would like for us to see that there is 
     a God and what should be our response.
Body:
 I. There is a God.
    A. Secular Humanism – read parts of article by Gene 
       Frost in Gospel Anchor Vol. 7, No. 3 p. 7-11
    B. Evidences that there is a God.
       1. Read parts of Reason & Revelation Vol. 2, No. 5
       2. If the earth has been in existence as long as the 
          evolution has to have it in existence, the 
          population of man would be more than the known 
          universe can hold.
       3. Which evolved first: flowers or bees.
       4. Evidence of design.
       5. The Bible
       6. The resurrection of Jesus from the dead.
    C. Thus, there is ample evidence for our belief in God.
II. The response that this should to cause in us. (The same 
    response as in our text)
    A. We ought to sanctify ourselves.
       1. Definition of the “sanctify:
          a. Wilson’s Old Testament Word Studies – to be 
             holy, sacred…The meaning usually given to this 
             word is implied than included in the proper 
             meaning.  It is used of being set apart, 
             appointed to any office or work.
          b. Vine’s – “Sanctification is used of (a) 
             separation to God (b) the course of life 
             befitting those so separated…Sanctification is 
             also in the New Testament of the separation of 
             the believer from evil things and ways.”
       2. How do we sanctify ourselves?
          a. John 17:17, 19
          b. 1 Corinthians 6:11, compare with Ephesians 
             5:26; Acts 18:8
       3. Once we have obeyed the gospel and thus been 
          sanctified, what should we do?
    B. Positive – be holy.
       1. Definition:
          a. Wilson’s Old Testament Word studies – to be 
             pure, clean; to be holy, sacred.
          b. Vine’s – fundamentally signifies separated 
             (among the Greeks, dedicated to the gods) and 
             hence, in Scripture in its moral and spiritual 
             significance, separation from sin and 
             therefore consecrated to God, sacred… (b) it 
             is used of men and things in so far as they 
             are devoted to God…believers are called to 
             sanctify themselves, cleansing themselves from 
             all defilement, forsaking sin, living a holy 
             manner of life…It is characteristically 
             godlikeness (Hastings’ Bible Dictionary)
       2. Romans 12:1-2
       3. Ephesians 1:4
    C. Negative – Not defile ourselves.
       1. The context of our text.
       2. 2 Peter 2:20 – pollutions-defilements
       3. Romans 12:1-2 – Same idea.
       4. Revelation 3:4
       5. Revelation 21:27
