Offerings and Sacrifices of the Old Testament

God gave His law to the Jewish nation, not just to show them how they were to live but also to reveal Himself to them. Through the required sacrifices and offerings, the Lord showed His people what was important to Him. He taught them about the seriousness of sin and how they could approach Him as their loving Creator. I would venture to say that in these New Testament days, we have often lost sight of what these offerings and sacrifices teach us about God and our responsibility toward Him.My prayer is that the reader will gain a deeper appreciation of the purpose of God and what it means to have a relationship with Him as our Creator and Sustainer.
