Aaron also and his sons I will consecrate to serve me as priests. 45(CO) I will dwell among the people of Israel and will be their God. 46And they shall know that(CP) I am the LORD their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt that I might dwell among them. I am the LORD their God.
God has very specific instructions on how things are to be done. He has a standard and it is huge.
I was reading in my Child Development textbook that their is a moral stage where children have a set rule book of this is right and this is wrong it is not until later that they grow out of black and white and see complexities in circumstances and are able to make moral decisions. I have been tough both in Ethics class and in NT that the law was our school master that taught us God's standard and what He expects of us. It was a moral rule book but now we are in a new covenant. We have the Holy Spirit and are now "Grown" and able to make our own moral decisions without black and white moral rules.
God told Aaron that He would consecrate His people and make them holy for His service and that God would dwell with His people. The God of the universe chooses to live with His people. That is massive! Why would HE want to do that. We are not even what He created us to be but fallen. it is amazing. God wants to be with us and
makes us holy so we can be with Him. All we have to do is respond and obey. It is hard to lose oneself.
