Leviticus

 

Leviticus

 Leviticus means "Pertaining to the Levites"

 The descendants of Abraham and Sarah were to be the means whereby God would draw other people to Holy worship. The Hebrews had to be holy, set apart for the Lord as a light to the Gentiles. 

 It fell to the tribe of Levi to serve as Israel's priest under Aaron, the high priest. They were the intermediaries who convinced the people that God's laws were good for them.

 Leviticus has great value to the Christian. It illustrates Christ's sacrificial work and gives the importance of a life of separation and obedience. It tells of five sacrifices that are fulfilled in Jesus Christ in His perfect life atonement on the cross (Heb. 10:1-4).

 Since God anticipated the nations entrance into the promised land, He gave them rules for success. Obedience by faith always brings blessing.

 Leviticus contains instruction for the offerings, the institution of the priesthood, laws of holy living and the feasts and seasons observed by God's holy nation. 

 We can become holy by allowing God to form His perfect life in us.
