Lev. Ch. 6

..cont.

we should believe and trust that our sins are forgiven

we are to make restitution to those we have sinned against

we are to seek God's help in changing our ways in this area of our life.

It is in obeying God that we love Him (1 John 4:21, 5: 2-3) and love our brother, as well.

In doing so we look out for the best interests of others and not just our own.

In doing so we glorify God and show Him to be worthy of our devotion and the giving of ourselves as a living sacrifice to Him.

In doing so, we establish a just social order that brings blessing to others instead of evil.

It is in doing so that we show ourselves to be children of God.

And in doing so we rightly exercise our calling as kings and priests unto God, being wise as serpents and innocent as doves, demonstrating that we are a holy people set apart for God's work and will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Leviticus Chapter 6

..cont.

God has ordained that people have a right to be owners of property, goods, businesses, etc. Any government that takes away this right or one's possessions is at odds with what God has decreed. This is one of the evils of government systems, that confiscates an individuals possessions, paycheck, etc. for ownership by the state. This is why it is wrong for any government to take from the "rich" or "privileged" and distribute these to the "poor" or "disenfranchised". We are not to demand anyone to give us of their possessions no matter our need. We do not have a claim on anything that belongs to someone else. To do so is to covet and also is avaricious and greedy.

We are also to stand up against oppressive practices in government or business. We are to voluntarily give to those in needs as the Spirit leads us to do so. We are to voluntarily look out for the best interests of others and not just for our own interests. But being forced to do so by others is wrong.

The priests are representatives of Jesus, Who is High Priest for all men. He not only is the sacrifice, but also the offerer-the priest who presents the sacrifice to the Father. He never had need to be the one seeking forgiveness because he was completely sinless, but as the sacrifice, He took our sins upon Himself and removed them from us so that we can be reconciled back to God and to the community of Christ.

So, these verses speak lying, fraud, deceit, robbery, violence or social wrong involving conscious trespass of the rights of our neighbor. It is knowing what is wrong and choosing to do it. It is willful sinning, not inadvertent or of ignorance. God has spelled out what these trespasses entail. We have no excuse.

We should;

heed the lead of the Holy Spirit when He convicts us of sin

repent from this sin and confess it to God and to the one we have sinned against

bring the required sacrifice ordained by God to obtain the remission of sins

John Prabhakar's comment on 2013-10-24 20:16:04:

The priests ministering in the tabernacle were a shadow of Christ the real Priest. Since they represented Him they ought to do exactly as Christ would. Christ, offered himself up wholly for us and never held back anything for himself. I think this would be the proper interpretation.
