📖 Lev11:~Called to Be Clean / 🇫🇷 Lévitique 11 : Appelés à la Pureté
📖 Leviticus 11: Called to Be Clean
"God sets His people apart through holiness even in the everyday."
Aim:
To explore how God’s laws on clean and unclean animals teach us about holiness, obedience, and spiritual discernment.
🙌 God’s Attributes
-
Holy – He calls us to live differently (v.44–45)
-
Wise – His instructions protect His people
-
Just – Cleanliness matters in both outer practice and inner attitude
-
Caring – He knows what nourishes and what harms
📌 Key Facts
-
God defines clean (acceptable) vs. unclean (taboo) animals—land, sea, air.
-
Unclean includes animals that don’t chew cud or have split hooves, fish without fins or scales, most insects.
-
Touching carcasses of unclean animals makes you unclean until evening (11:24–40).
-
Ritual washing and waiting until evening restores cleanliness.
-
These laws distinguish Israel from other nations and maintain communal purity.
🔍 Three Ps
-
Purity – Physical and symbolic distinctions emphasize a holy lifestyle.
-
Pattern – God carefully outlines what is clean vs. unclean.
-
Prevention – These laws shield Israel from spiritual and physical harm.

Holiness extends to everyday life—what we eat, what we touch, and how we live.
-
Spiritual discernment often begins with obeying details.
-
God’s boundaries are protective, not punitive—they care for His people.

-
Evaluate your daily habits. What you consume—food, media, habits—affects your soul.
-
Seek discernment: ask God what is beneficial and what may dull your spiritual sensitivity.
-
View God’s commands as acts of care, not restrictions.
✅ Deed of the Day
-
Choose something you consume regularly (a food, a TV habit, social media).
-
Pray, ask God to reveal if it nurtures you or harms you spiritually.
-
Make a choice to keep or remove it based on His guidance.
🙏Prayer
Lord, You are holy and set me apart. Show me what’s cleansing and what’s defiling. Help me walk in purity—in body, mind, and spirit. Amen.
