~ More Laws And Rules Are Given (Leviticus 6of8) ~
Introduction ~ “Abundant Life Now” previously provided a list of Biblical of examples of fearing / reverencing God (217 posts). In this current series we look at Biblical accounts that demonstrate that we can fully trust God. Initially we posted seven general reasons for trusting God. We are currently looking at passages from all 66 books of Scripture which demonstrate a reason for trusting our Creator.
Note ~ In chapters 1—5 of the Book of Leviticus God establishes a detailed set of sacrifices that enabled His people to worship Him. Following that He gave additional laws and rules for His people to follow. God’s directions to His people throughout the centuries have always been for the good of His people. He is in complete control and He cares for us, therefore we can trust Him!
Chapters 6-16 of Leviticus contain many more laws and rules for the Israelites. Much of this section of Scripture focuses on Laws regarding the consecration of priests and general laws of purity. This section ends with information regarding atonement.
Scripture ~ A great summary passage in the Book of Leviticus is:
“For I am the Lord your God. You shall therefore consecrate yourselves, and you shall be holy; for I am holy. Neither shall you defile yourselves with any creeping thing that creeps on the earth. For I am the Lord who brings you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy” (Leviticus 11:44-45).
Closing Comment ~ The importance of blood is a reoccurring theme in the Book of Leviticus. In Chapter 17 the sanctity of Blood is the subject. Note for those wishing to look deeper at the blood of Christ consider the eBook entitled: “CHRIST’S BLOOD: 7+ Amazing Benefits” (https://books2read.com/ChristsBlood) by Robert Lloyd Russell.
