Summary
In this week of First15 devotionals, we’re going to explore what it means to live with an unveiled lifestyle. It’s when we live our lives in light of the perfect sacrifice of Jesus that you and I begin to experience all his death was purposed to bring us. God longs for his children to walk in intimacy with him, directly connected to his wellspring of love for us. May you experience a more tangible, loving, and powerful connection with your heavenly Father this week as we celebrate living life unveiled.
Our Scripture for today comes from Leviticus 21:23, and today's worship is Holy Forever by Chris Tomlin.

| 0:47.8 | And in the greatest tragedy of all time, our sin caused the love and holiness of our God |
| 0:53.3 | to be at opposition with one another. |
| 0:56.2 | His greatest desire was for unadulterated, perfect relationship with us. And with Adam and Eve, |
