Be Holy as I Am Holy

God’s law calls us to be exactly what we were made to be: people who reflect the holy character of our Creator. Today, R.C. Sproul explores the relationship between the image of God and the law of God.
When God gathered the nation at Sinai and gave to them His law and constituted them as a unique commonwealth among all of the nations of the world, He said to His people, “You shall be holy, even as I am holy.” This was not a new calling. That responsibility of being holy because God is holy was rooted and grounded in creation itself. When God made us and fashioned us, He said, “Let us make man in our own image.” An image is a likeness of something. Being created in the image of God among other things means that we, as God’s creatures who bear His image, are called to mirror and to reflect His character. We are to mirror and reflect His holiness.
