The Offerings |
|||
|
Listed here are the five key offerings the Israelites made to God. They made these offerings in order to have their sins forgiven and to restore their fellowship with God. The death of Jesus Christ made their sacrifices unnecessary. Because of his death, our sins were completely forgiven, and fellowship with God has been restored. Leviticus 1 |
