Leviticus 7:23, 25-27

Many believers, even after putting their faith in Christ, still live under the weight of guilt and condemnation. They remain unsure of their acceptance before God. They do not understand that faith in Christ brings the righteousness of God as a gift. So they continue to search for means to earn righteousness. Yet righteousness is not a reward to achieve, but a gift to receive. If you struggle with guilt, shame and condemnation, these reflections will help you see how the gift of righteousness enables you to live above guilt and above the power of sin.

Although often overlooked and ignored, the book of Leviticus is filled with God's gracious and merciful provisions for his people. Through sacrifice and ritual, God enabled his sinful people to dwell in his holy presence.
