THE LEVITICAL OFFERINGS
Introduction. Lev. chs. 1 - 7
Heb. 10:1-14 [1, 8, 5, 6, 14]
cp.
The Study of the Shadow after knowing the Substance.
For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not
the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices
which they offered year by year continually make the comers
thereunto perfect…
For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats
should take away sins.
Wherefore…He saith, Sacrifice and offering Thou wouldest
not, but a body hast Thou prepared Me:
In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin Thou hast had no
pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book
it is written of Me,) to do Thy will, O God.

THE PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS
–
The Believer's Burnt Offering. Rom. 12:1
“BE WELL-PLEASING TO GOD":
1. Serve Christ in Consideration for
others. Rom. 14:16, 18, RV
Let not then your good be evil spoken
of:…For he that in these things serveth
Christ is acceptable to God, and
approved of men.
Phil. 4:18, RV
2. Minister to the needs
of God's Servants.
But I have all, and abound: I am full,
having received of Epaphroditus the
things which were sent from you, an
odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice
acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
Col. 3:22; Tit.2:9
3. Recognise the responsibility in
earthly relationships.
Servants, obey in all things your masters according
to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as
menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing
God:
Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own
masters, and to please them well in all things;
not answering again;
Heb. 11:5, 6
4. Have faith in God.
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not
see death; and was not found, because God had
translated him: for before his translation he had
this testimony, that he pleased God.
But without faith it is impossible to please him:
for he that cometh to God must believe that he is,
and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently
seek him.
Heb. 13:16
5. Do good to others.
But to do good and to communicate
forget not:
for with such
sacrifices
God is well
pleased.
I Pet. 2:20
6. Prepare to suffer wrongfully.
For what glory is it, if, when ye be
buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it
patiently? but if, when ye do well, and
suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is
acceptable with God.
Conclusion: Be ye a Burnt Offering
Rom. 12:1, 2
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the
mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a
living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye
transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that ye may prove what is that good, and
acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
