Leviticus Introduction

• Hebrews 12:14 – “Purse peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.”
  • How do we strive for holiness?  What does holiness look like in our lives?  If I ask you to take me to the book that instructs us about holiness, which book would you turn to?
    • Holy occurs 92 times in Leviticus & Atonement occurs 51 times
• Leviticus answer the questions how can a holy God dwell with an unholy people… and how can an unholy people be AT-ONE-MENT with a holy God?
