“Acceptance with God” Leviticus 1:1-27:34

It’s my prayer that God would use the law of Moses in Leviticus as schoolmaster to bring us to Christ (Gal. 3:23-24, KJV). Only Christ is able to perfectly keep every meticulous  detail of God’s commands here, and He did it all so that unacceptable sinners like us might be acceptable to God through Him.

Big Idea: God accepts sinners through His meticulous design of a priestly sacrifice. 

God accepts sinners through…
(1) Sacrifice (Lev. 1:1-7:38; 24:1-4 lamps with 6:12-13 fire at altar; Leviticus 16:1-17:16; 22:17-33)… Fulfilled in Christ (Matt. 5:17-18; John 1:28, 36; 14:6; Heb. 10:4, 12-14; Rev. 7:9; 14:1)

(2) Priesthood (Leviticus 8:1-10:20; 21:1-22:16; 24:5-9)… Fulfilled in Christ (Heb. 8:5-6, 13; 9:11-14)… To His church (1 Peter 2:5, 9-10)

(3) Purity, Cleanness & Holiness (Leviticus 11:1-15:33; 18:1-21:27; 27:1-34)… Fulfilled in Christ (Mark 1:24; Luke 4:34; John 6:69; Acts 2:27; 3:14; 13:35; 1 John 2:20; Rev. 3:7; 16:5)… To His church (Titus 2:13; 1 John 1:7, 9; Eph. 1:3-4; Jude 1:14; Rev. 20:6; Cf. “Saints” Acts 9:13, 32, 41; 26:10; Rom. 1:7; 8:27; 12:13; 15:25-26, 31; 16:2, 15; 1 Cor. 1:2; 6:1-2; 14:33; 16:1, 15; 2 Cor. 1:1; 8:4; 9:1, 12; 13:13; Eph. 1:1, 15, 18; 2:19; 3:8, 18; 4:12; 5:3; 6:18; Phil. 1:1; 4:22; Col. 1:2, 4, 12, 26; 1 Thess. 3:13; 2 Thess. 1:10; 1 Tim. 5:10; Philemon 1:5, 7; Heb. 6:10; 13:24; Jude 1:3; Rev. 5:8; 8:3-4; 11:18; 13:7, 10; 14:12; 16:6; 17:6; 18:20, 24; 19:8; 20:9)

(4) Feasts of Remembrance, Rest & Obedience (Leviticus 23:1-44; 26:1-46)… Fulfilled in Christ (Rest… Heb. 4:9; Last Supper… Matt. 26:29; Mark 14:25; Luke 22:18; Obedience… Heb. 5:8; etc.)… To His church (Rest… Heb. 4; Acts 20:7; 1 Cor. 16:2; Rev. 1:10; 14:13; Lord’s Supper… Acts 2:41-42; 1 Cor. 5:6-8, 11; 10:17; 11:17-34… Obedience… John 14:15; 1 John 5:2)
