Leviticus 18
Jehovah's
statutes given to keep man from dishonouring himself in
natural relations
Chapter 18 keeps them from
dishonouring themselves in the things which belong to
nature itself—to what man ought to be in his natural
relations, that he might not dishonour himself. Man ought
not to do it; but, not having honoured God, he has been
left to dishonour himself (compare Rom. 1). The people of
God, being brought into nearness to Him, are taught on
this subject. They were separated from the evil of the
world they were called out of, and the reckless
profligacy into which Satan had driven degraded man as
his sport. Verse 6 is the great principle which is
insisted on in the chapter—not to confound the
intimacies of marriage with the confidence of natural
relationship. Those things are forbidden into which, in
the satanic and unnatural indulgence of flesh, Satan
plunged man, and to which God had given them up to work
all uncleanness with greediness. The comeliness of nature
is maintained; what is defiling forbidden. Jehovah's
statutes and judgments were to guide them: man in
probation walking in them would live.
