What God Wants Us To Know: Leviticus

What God Wants Us To Know

“I am holy, and if you desire to be close to Me, you must learn that My ways are higher than your own and that holiness matters.”

Leviticus teaches humanity how a sinful people can approach and live in relationship with a holy God. Through instructions about sacrifices, priests, purification, worship, and moral living, the book reveals that God is not to be treated casually or shaped according to human preferences. At the same time, Leviticus shows God's desire to dwell among His people rather than remain distant from them. The central message is that closeness with God requires reverence, obedience, and a recognition that God defines what is good and pure.
