It was written as instructions for the Hebrew community in holy worship and holy living – to imitate God’s holiness, enjoy the presence and blessing of God – to keep God happy so He would stay with them . . . Dwell with them. Hebrew school children first learned book of Leviticus. Quoted over 100 times in the New Testament.

Jesus as Lord When a person accepts Jesus as their Lord – Confessing their belief that Jesus died, was buried, and resurrected on the third day, they are saved and get eternal life – He was your sin offering. A person then needs to dedicate their life – accept Him as Jesus as Lord. Be different, be holy, represent Jesus wherever you are – school, work, wherever. My life is yours – you are my Lord!
