Consecration is God separating you from everything misaligned with Him, even beloved things. The speaker uses divorce as a metaphor for breaking sinful attachments, then connects it to Israel's exodus from Egypt, showing how God establishes rituals to keep redemption's cost alive in memory.
So consecration is a process that will involve some pain. And it's funny because at the Bible study yesterday, we was talking about consecration, and I defined consecration as God separating you from everything that is not in him. So now think of the thing that you love to do so much, and you know God hates that process of divorce between that thing that you were doing and what God wants you to become. Is him consecrating you to himself, because that thing can't stand in his presence. And if he does not divorce you from that, when you get into God's presence, you will be judged. So God is instituting a protocol so that people will not forget how they got out of Egypt. God is like, you will remember the price of your deliverance. Woo, this is good.
