Day 36: Chronological Bible Story in One Year Plan
Opening Scene
The fire on the altar still burns. God has drawn near, but now He addresses a hard truth—His people will fail. Yet even in failure, He provides a way back into fellowship.
The Story Unfolds
In Leviticus 4, God introduces the sin offering, addressing unintentional sins committed by individuals, leaders, and the community. Each sacrifice underscores personal responsibility and the seriousness of sin before a holy God.
In Leviticus 5, the guilt offering is described. Confession, restitution, and sacrifice are required. God shows that forgiveness involves honesty and restored relationships, not silent regret.
In Leviticus 6–7, God gives further instructions to the priests concerning these offerings. Careful handling of sacrifices is emphasized, teaching that sacred things must never be treated lightly. God also reaffirms the peace offering, highlighting restored fellowship after forgiveness.
Spiritual Insight
God does not ignore sin, but He does not abandon sinners. Repentance opens the door to mercy, and restoration follows sincere confession.
Life Application
Take sin seriously—but never despair. Confess quickly, make amends where necessary, and trust God’s provision for forgiveness and restoration.
Prayer
Merciful God, thank You for making a way for forgiveness. Search my heart and lead me to sincere repentance. Restore me fully and keep me walking in Your grace. Amen.
Challenge for the Day
Ask God to reveal any area needing repentance. Confess it honestly and, where possible, take a step toward reconciliation today.
