When the Lord my God saved me, He had a very clear purpose as shown in Exodus 6:7:
And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.In Leviticus, the Lord my God reminds me who He is and what I need to do. In Leviticus 11:44, God commands me to sanctify myself, be holy, and not to defile myself with any manner of the unsaved:
For I [am] the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I [am] holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.In Leviticus 19:10, the Lord my God commands me to care for the poor and stranger:
And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather [every] grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I [am] the LORD your God.In Leviticus 19:34, the Lord my God commands me to love the stranger that dwells with me:
[But] the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I [am] the LORD your God.In Leviticus 25:17, the Lord my God commands me not to oppress others, who are the servants unto the Lord my God, but to fear my God:
Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I [am] the LORD your God.In Leviticus 26:1, the Lord my God commands me to not to worship idols:
Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up [any] image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I [am] the LORD your God.May I "love the LORD [my] God with all [my] heart, and with all [my]soul, and with [my] might".
