Bible Chapter: Leviticus 5 & 6

Because the Bible is practical, here are some statements to get you thinking.

1.  Write one or two key thoughts that come from today’s reading.
    Confessing sin.  There were many different sacrifices mentioned in this book.  Those who sinned were required to confess it.  Confessing requires admission of guilt before God.  God has the highest and most perfect standard of holiness.  People miss that by a long margin.  We can’t live up to what God expects, so we must acknowledge our sin and confess.  Leviticus lists many sacrifices.  They were required under the Law to receive forgiveness.  There was a cost involved in bringing a sacrifice.

2.  What can I apply in my life from the reading?
    Acknowledging guilt.  God requires it.  While these chapters have a complex system of sacrifices, today we don’t bring an animal but come to the Lord who paid the price for sins.  I’m glad the way has been paved for us by Jesus.

3.  How can I help someone?
    People need to see that they need the Lord.  Many are deceived into thinking that everyone automatically goes to heaven unless they are a horrible murder or something.  People need to see they need the Lord.
Proverbs 28:13 NKJV
13 He who covers his sins will not prosper, But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.
