You have come into a relationship with God on the basis of the sacrifice of Jesus at Calvary. But God wants us to have fellowship with Him. God wants us to know Him in our daily experience. The word which guides the direction of these concluding chapters is the word "separation." God says, "Be ye holy, for I am holy." We have been following this practical part, and we come now to chapters 24 through 27 which ...
