Leviticus: Be holy for I am holy

Our task is to go, to make disciples, to baptize and to teach. To do that job we need strong and confident Christians that know and understand the Bible. In fact, all Christians should all have adequate, accurate and truthful knowledge of the Bible to understand and apply it correctly. These study guides are for anyone who wishes to gain a deeper biblical knowledge and understanding - especially persons who are new to Christianity. The theme of Leviticus is the holiness of God. So, how Israel was to live as a holy nation? Leviticus is as important as all the other Bible books because the Levitical sacrificial system is divine revelation. It continues God's revelation of Himself in Genesis and Exodus. Leviticus is essentially the 'handbook' Israel needed to become a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. It is a picture of the seriousness of sanctification, the utter holiness of the LORD, the separation between us and God through sin, and it is a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ.
