Jensens survey of the old testament adam 69

17:11 and 19:2. Concerning the latter,
compare 11:44-45 and 20:7, 26.
VI. APPLICATIONS
1. With the ve o erings of Leviticus 1-7
in mind, what do you think the Christian
should be offering to God?
2. In what ways does Christ serve
Christians as their High Priest?
3. The clear teaching of 1 John 1:8 is that
all Christians do commit sins. Does this
jeopardize the Christian’s witness of the
Gospel? Explain.
4. What do the chapters about the priests’
consecration teach you about Christian
service?
5. What is your personal testimony in
connection with these two revealed truths:
a) The just penalty for sin is death through


the shedding of blood, in which resides
the life of the flesh.
b) God in His grace allows the death of an
acceptable substitute as payment for sin’s
penalty. (Read the following verses: Matt
20:28; Rom 3:24-26; 1 Cor 15:3; Gal 1:4;
Heb 7:25; 1 Pet 2:24.)
6. What are your thoughts about the
following statements:
a) When man comes into fellowship with the
holy God, he must live in the light of

this new experience.
b) Offerings to God must be made willingly,
in the spirit of obedience to His
instructions.
7. The truth about holy living by God’s
people is taught in the New Testament as
well as the Old. Apply these verses to your
life: 1 Peter 1:13-16; Ephesians 1:4;
Colossians 1:22; 1 Timothy 2:8; Titus 1:8; 1


John 1:6-7.
8. What do Christian holidays (e.g.,
Easter) mean to you?
9. What do you consider to be the most
important practical teachings of Leviticus for
today? Identify at least five.
VII. FURTHER STUDY

law, sacrifice, and offering.
