·46 min·4 clips

How does Abraham's faith being credited as righteousness connect to the entire Old Testament sacrificial system?

The episode begins with Jenna Wright and Matt Lilloyan reflecting on a recent evangelism seminar and a Bible study comment comparing Leviticus to oatmeal. Matt summarizes his sermon on Leviticus 1-7, outlining the five major offerings and the three P's: purpose, connection to Jesus, and principles for living. They discuss how Bible study groups should focus on one or two offerings rather than trying to cover all seven chapters. The first listener question explores the relationship between Abraham's faith and the sacrificial system, with Matt referencing Paul's writings in Romans and Galatians. The second question addresses whether detailed laws justify pharisaical interpretations, leading to a discussion on simple faith versus comprehensive understanding. The third question delves into the phrase 'pleasing aroma to the Lord,' with Matt explaining it as a symbol of offerings and prayers ascending to God, referencing Psalm 141 and 2 Corinthians. The fourth question concerns women's participation in the sacrificial system, noting provisions for women and parallels to New Testament roles. The fifth question distinguishes between unintentional and intentional sin, citing Numbers 15 and the concept of being 'cut off.' The final question examines communion in light of the grain offering, with Matt arguing against a purely memorial view and for communion as a means of grace. The episode concludes with encouragement to engage deeply with Leviticus to better understand the New Testament.
