He has given God a return upon the blessings he has given us. • The Burnt Offering – makes atonement for sinfulness generally (Leviticus 1:4,9) • Christ was wholly consecrated to God. He suffered death and destruction for sin thus he is the final burnt offering. (Romans 6:3-7) The Necessity of Christ in the Old Testament
