Holiness is the condition of being “set apart”.
1. Set apart from the world
2. Set apart for God
Consecration is an intentional and conscious process of personal holiness:
1. “I set myself apart from...”
2. “I set myself apart unto the purposes of God.”
Sanctification is a work of the Spirit to clean me up once I set myself apart.
1Peter1:15-16
“But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: ‘Be holy because I am holy.’”
STAGE 1:
Exodus 33 from verse 1 to 10.
Moses has spent 40 days in the tangible manifest presence of God.
He comes down from Sinai to find the Israelites worshiping a golden calf that had been handcrafted by Aaron:
Ex32;4
“He took what they handed him and made it into an idol, cast in the shape of a calf, and fashioned it with a tool.”
Aaron led the people astray because he was a people-pleaser. (Gal1:10)
Aaron says:
“I threw the gold into the fire, and out came a calf.” A blatant lie.
1. Idols take time to build in our lives
2. Idols are intentionally erected
3. Idols are crafted with much dedication
4. Idols cost us money.
Moses calls out “Whoever is for the Lord, join with me.”
They get sent to slay brother and neighbor and friend.
Ex32:29
“You have been set apart (holy) to the Lord today because you were against your own sons and brothers, and He has blessed you this day.”
STAGE 2: God responds!
Reading EX33:1-10
God sends a plague and many die.
Psalm 39:11
“When you rebuke and discipline anyone for their sin, you consume their wealth like a moth...”
1. God is holy
2. A Holy God does not cohabit with sin - sin separates us from God. “I will not go with you...”
3. God punishes sin. Sin is contagious. “If I go with you I might destroy all of you...”
4. The wages of sin is death
5. Even in the OT, God makes a way. “I will send my angel ahead of you...”
6. God always fulfills His promises.
James 4:8
STAGE 3: MOSES RESPONDS
