Now that God's people are set free from slavery, God must show them what it's like to have a relationship with Him. But how can a holy and perfect God have a relationship with sinful people? Leviticus shows us what that relationship looks like, both for the people of Israel and for us today: our need for a substitute, our need for forgiveness, and ultimately our need for God Himself.
Application Questions:
1. What the central focus of God in Leviticus (i.e. what is God doing?)?
2. What does Leviticus tell us about who God is and who we are?
3. What is the difference between the feeling of guilt and the objective reality of guilt?
4. How does Christ incarnate the similarities and differences between the Levitical Law and the Law of Grace?
5. What does this all mean for how we deal with our guilt and shame?
