Leviticus 1 - 7 (Part 2)

LeviticusSteve Gregg
The acceptability of sacrifices according to the Jewish Law is determined by the character, intentions, and relationship with God of the person offering them, rather than just fulfilling religious obligations. While sacrifices were at the center of Israel's worship life, spiritual leaders realized that the sacrificial system was just a ritual external aspect of religion, and the sacrifices could not eradicate sin. Rather than becoming sacrifices ourselves, we offer spiritual sacrifices, presenting ourselves as living offerings set apart for God's service, accepting the reproach that comes with it.
