For many, the book of Leviticus is a tedious read, filled with the required sacrifices and the ceremonial requirements of the priesthood.  There is little seen in Leviticus that has much to do with the modern Christian believer.

But we must remember that above all, the Law of God, often referred to as the Mosaic Law, is a reflection of the character and nature of God.  And among the books of the Law, Leviticus stands out as being especially focused upon the holiness of God, and therefore the requirement of holiness among His people who would be in His presence.  A central passage in Leviticus is found in Leviticus 19:2, the the Lord commanding Moses, “Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘You shall be holy, for I, Yahweh your God, am holy.’”

In today's teaching, we look at one of the final chapters in Leviticus, as the Lord prepares His people for inhabiting the Land.  It is a final call, as it were, for the people to live holy lives, not to receive redemption, but because they have been redeemed.  And in it, we draw three lessons for the believer today:

1. The blessing of obedience
2. The curse of disobedience
3. The faithfulness of the Lord to His promises

Thank you for listening to today's teaching.  We pray you will be encouraged as we consider the faithfulness of a Holy, righteous and just God to His promises; for in His faithfulness, we see His grace, mercy and forgiveness on full display.
