The book of Leviticus, written by Moses, is the third book of the five books of the Pentateuch. It was a book of regulations whereby the Israelites could learn how to live Godly lives through sacrifice and worship. But it is much more than just a rule book. Things are revealed about the nature of God, such as sin is always detestable in God’s sight and that sin must be atoned for by the offering of sacrificial blood. This points to the future and the ultimate sacrifice, as the Blood of Christ was given as the final sacrifice for all. There are also words of comfort and encouragement in that faithfulness to God’s word allows His peace and presence to fill our lives, even in the most difficult and tumultuous of times.
God will show himself holy always, forever. He will be honored and we should always put that before us. The entire book about distinguishing between the holy and the common, between the unclean and clean and thus being holy and clean and teaching others with God’s word to do the same. It is commanded of us! To keep ourselves holy and sanctified to him. He wants us to rebuke frankly so we don’t share in the guilt. Our sacrifice to him is obeying him and is an aroma pleasing to him!
