5 out of 5 stars *****
My bible study weaves nicely with books I read and the Audiobooks to which I listen. Learning how the Old Testament foretells what transpires in the New Testament through Christ Jesus is an amazing verification of the divinity of Jesus, a man born in Bethlehem, as prophesied, who lives a life without sin so he may sacrifice his exemplary life with his blood on the cross for mankind's sins, past present, and future.
Leviticus describes the blood sacrifices, as instructed by God, to be made for His people's atonement of their sins. This outward, physical ceremony occurs regularly because mankind cannot obey God as Jesus does.
Exodus lays the foundation for mankind's obedience to God. Following God's instructions for a holier life is the expectation as the Ten Commandments delineate. The first four address mankind's interaction with God and the remaining six are for the behaviors of men and women toward each other.
This bible study teaches how early this covenant is made by God to all those who obey His laws. the ones he gave to Moses. God's law is the same today as it was then. It is constant as is God, never changing. Mankind's failure to adhere to these directions is the reason mankind needs a Savior.
The exploration of this segment of the bible reminds us how much God loves us as well as how impossible it is for us to be with Him for eternity without the blood sacrifice that first occurs in Leviticus and culminates in the crucifixion of the Son of Man, God, here on earth, for mankind's redemption and salvation.
