Episode notes
Consecration Means Being Set Apart
- God consecrates people by setting them apart for specific purposes, exemplified by Aaron and his sons being made priests in Exodus 29.
- David Platt links this Old Testament consecration to corporate holiness: Israel set apart from other peoples to be holy.
Christian Identity Is Corporate Consecration
- In Christ believers are described as a chosen race, royal priesthood, holy nation, and God’s possession (1 Peter 2:9).
- Platt emphasizes this identity means thinking, desiring, speaking, and living differently from the world.
Pray For Power To Live Holy
- Live consecrated: pursue holiness in thoughts, desires, words, relationships, and love for others.
- Pray for God’s help to not think, desire, or speak like the world but to reflect God’s holiness.
