Lev Msg 46

1. God is love, light, holy, and righteous.
2. He has loved us to such an extent that in eternity past He prepared a way first to cover our sins and then to remove them.
3. In the OT, God's economy was to cover man's sins; in the NT, God's economy is to take away man's sins.
4. Atonement is to cause two parties to be one. Atonement equals to redemption in the OT.
5. We need a sin offering to solve the root problem of our sin. We need a burnt offering so that we can be for God.
6. Man's coming to God must be through Christ as his sin offering and his burnt offering.
7. The one who comes near to God should take Christ as his righteousness and holiness in order that he may cover his entire being and express Christ.
8. First we experience Christ as the sin offering and as the burnt offering, and then we minister what we have experienced to others so that they may have the same experience.
9. Sin came from Satan and entered into man, and there is no way for fallen man to get rid of it. But Christ died on the cross for our sins and as our sin offering. The cross gives Christ the position, the strength, the power, and the authority to take sin away and send it back to Satan.
10. His being burned as the incense to be our acceptance before God depends on His death on the cross for our sins.
