3 Uncleanness in Leviticus Clean and unclean animals (Lev. 11) Clean and unclean people (Lev. 12-15) Uncleanness came as a result of… – Divine decree (11:1-2; see also Deut. 14:3-20) – Physical circumstances (12:2; 13:3; 15:2; etc.) – Sin (Lev. 16:16)

9 Uncleanness in Leviticus Levitical laws of clean & unclean are no longer binding (Eph. 2:14; Col. 2:14) Food restrictions have been done away (Mk. 7:16; Acts 10:15; 11:19; Rom. 14:1ff; 1 Cor. 8:1ff; Col. 2:16; 1 Tim. 4:3-5) However, laws of clean & unclean exist in the NT for us today. What are they?

10 Uncleanness in New Testament Leprosy Deep (13:1-3) Spreads (13:5-8) Defiles (13:44-46) Separates (13:46) Fit for fire (13:52,55,57) Priest goes (14:1-3) Water & blood (14:4-9) Offer sacrifices (14:10ff) Sin Matthew 15:19-20 2 Timothy 2:17; 3:13 2 Corinthians 7:1 Romans 6:23 Revelation 21:8 Luke 7:34; 19:10 Romans 6:3-4 Romans 12:1-2

11 Uncleanness in New Testament May not be viewed on the outside (Mt. 23:25-27) Is a work of the flesh (Rom. 1:24; 6:19; 2 Cor. 12:21; Gal. 5:19; Eph. 4:19; Col. 3:5; 1 Thess. 2:3; 4:7; Rev. 17:4) Must be avoided (2 Cor. 6:14 – 7:1) Has no part in the kingdom of God (Eph. 5:3-5)

12 Cleanness in New Testament Must be clean from within (Lk. 11:37-41; Jn. 13:10-11) Made clean and pure… – By faith (Acts 15:9), and the blood of Jesus in baptism for the erring sinner (Eph. 5:26; Heb. 1:3; 9:13-14,22- 23; 10:22; Rev. 1:5) – By the blood of Jesus in prayer and confession for the erring Christian (1 Jn. 1:7,9)

13 Cleanness in New Testament Must remain pure and clean in our Christian living (2 Cor. 7:1; Tit. 2:14; Jas. 1:27; 4:8; 2 Pet. 1:9) Must keep a clean heart / conscience (Mt. 5:8; 1 Tim. 1:5; 3:9; 2 Tim. 1:3; 2:22; Tit. 1:15; 1 Pet. 1:22) Made clean through the Word (Jn. 15:3) Only purity inhabits heaven (Rev. 19:8)

14 Lasting Principles for Today All lifestyles are not the same; there is a difference and distinction between clean and unclean (Lev. 10:10; 11:47) The Lord, not man, determines what is clean and unclean (Lev. 11:44-45; 20:25-26) Uncleanness is not “cool” or “fun”; it is an “abomination” that brings death (Lev. 15:31) There is no contact with uncleanness; it separates from God’s people (Lev. 13:46; 14:3; 22:3)

15 Lasting Principles for Today What is clean and unclean must not be ignored; it must be taught to the next generation (Lev. 10:11; 14:57; Heb. 5:14) We are healed and made clean today by the Jesus, the Great Physician (Isa. 53:5; Mt. 9:10- 13; 1 Pet. 2:25)
