The conduct, appearance, and overall demeanor of the priesthood was held to a very high standard by the law God gave Moses. They were to be exemplary in all facets of life. They maintained a habit of holy living, giving constant attention to keeping themselves ceremonially clean.

Contemporary Christians are also encouraged to maintain a high standard of personal uprightness. The big difference is … we have the grace of God and His Holy Spirit to guide us and supply the inner strength to fulfill God’s standard.

That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. [Eph. 5:27]
