“I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.” - 1 Corinthians 3:6-7
Key Takeaway's from Chapters 6-8 in Leviticus:
- Every sin is ultimately against God and calls for genuine repentance.
- God is worthy of our best, not what is left over.
- Faithfulness in ordinary, daily obedience is an act of worship.
- God alone determines how He is to be worshiped.
- Fellowship with God is possible only through atonement.
- Ministry flows from cleansing and consecration, not personal merit.
- Every sacrifice and every priest in Leviticus ultimately points to Jesus Christ, whose perfect sacrifice and eternal priesthood accomplish forever what these ceremonies could only symbolize.
"Leviticus 8:22-30 explains blood was to be placed on Aaron's right ear, thumb and big toe. Explaining that the priest's hearing, working and walking all belonged to God. Christians, likewise, should dedicate our ears (to hear God's word), our hands (to serve Him) and our feet (to walk in obedience)."
"I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship." - Romans 12:1
This is continual. Moment by moment of every day until our last breath.
