00:02.940 --> 00:06.280
Introduction to the third book of Moses,
called Leviticus.

00:06.980 --> 00:12.000
The whole book of Leviticus focuses on how
to live with God, the One who is holy.

00:12.820 --> 00:16.620
Leviticus became the manual for holy
living for the people of Israel who were

00:16.620 --> 00:19.000
chosen to be different than the nations
around them.

00:19.780 --> 00:24.360
They had been slaves, but God dramatically
rescued them from the multi-god culture of

00:24.360 --> 00:24.640
Egypt.

00:25.360 --> 00:30.060
Because of His great love for them,
God gave them His law, called Torah,

00:30.340 --> 00:31.000
or instruction.

00:32.020 --> 00:35.320
He also gave directions for the
construction of a portable worship center

00:35.320 --> 00:37.980
where God's holy presence would dwell
among them.

00:38.880 --> 00:43.900
They needed to know how to approach Him,
how to follow Him, how to think like Him

00:43.900 --> 00:45.540
if they were to be His holy people.

00:46.420 --> 00:51.140
In this book of Leviticus, recorded by
Moses, we hear about the many required

00:51.140 --> 00:54.260
sacrifices for worship and God's
forgiveness of sin.

00:54.980 --> 00:59.560
Through them, we learn about the costly
consequences of sin, and we realize that

00:59.560 --> 01:03.700
we cannot obtain forgiveness apart from
God and the salvation He provides.
