One of the most shocking things revealed about God throughout the Bible is His clear and intentional desire to be close to us and to interact with us. He makes that obvious in virtually every way, but there is one major caveat that never changes. It has to be done His way. We do not get to approach God on our terms, because in almost every instance where we try to do that, we end up bringing destruction upon ourselves. Leviticus 7 makes this unmistakably clear. God is not distant, and He is not unwilling, but He is holy. Quite simply put, God is holy, and you don’t get Him your way!
