From the same article...

Thus, on the basis of linguistic, stylistic, conceptual, and theological
analysis of Leviticus 11 in relation to the Creation accounts of Genesis 1–2,
I conclude that Creation is the overall umbrella for discovering a rationale
behind the biblical dietary laws, and that the theme of Creation unites
different factors of this rationale which may be discovered fromthe biblical
text. Thus, behind the legislation of clean and unclean animals/food lies a
deep theological reason, which is the respect for the Creator, the Holy
One.

You do not even have the first clue as to what God wants from his chosen. You should study more.

Call to Holiness
The call to holiness, the dominant theme in the book of Leviticus,
contains a strong emphasis and admonition for Christians in the New
Testament writings. The imitatio Dei is an ongoing demand. It issignificant
that Peter’s reason for being holy (1 Pet 1:15–16) is substantiated by the
text derived from the passage dealing with the Mosaic dietary laws (Lev
11:44–45)

1 Peter 1:13Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the GRACE that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
15But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

1 Peter 1:16 is a direct reference to Leviticus 11:44...

Leviticus 11:44For 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.

John 6:28-29
Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?
 Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."


1 John 3:21-23
Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him.
And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.
