How can we apply the principles of Leviticus 7:37 in our daily worship? The Text at a Glance “ This is the law of the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering, and the peace offering.” (Leviticus 7:37) Understanding the Six Offerings • Burnt offering – total consecration (Leviticus 1) • Grain offering – thankful devotion of daily work (Leviticus 2) • Sin offering – atonement for specific sins (Leviticus 4) • Guilt offering – restitution when we’ve wronged others (Leviticus 5) • Ordination offering – setting apart for service (Leviticus 8) • Peace offering – fellowship with God and one another (Leviticus 3) Timeless Principles We Can Live Out • God sets the terms for worship; we don’t improvise holiness (John 4:24). • True worship touches every part of life—heart, hands, relationships. • Variety in offerings shows a holistic response: surrender, gratitude, repentance, reconciliation, service, communion. Putting It into Daily Practice Burnt offering principle – Start each morning offering yourself wholly to God. “Present your bodies as a living sacrifice” (Romans 12:1). Grain offering principle – Dedicate your work: pray over tasks, pursue excellence, give thanks for daily bread (Colossians 3:23). Sin offering principle – Confess specific sins immediately. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us” (1 John 1:9). Guilt offering principle – Make things right with people you’ve harmed. Restore what was lost, plus generosity (Luke 19:8). Ordination offering principle – Recognize your calling: every believer is set apart for ministry (1 Peter 2:9). Peace offering principle – Celebrate reconciliation. Share meals, worship in community, express joy (Hebrews 13:15-16). Scriptures to Reinforce the Pattern • Psalm 51:17 – a broken and contrite heart God will not despise. • Hebrews 10:1-10 – Christ fulfills every offering, enabling our worship. • Philippians 4:6 – thanksgiving in everything echoes the grain and peace offerings. Living out the layered richness of Leviticus 7:37 turns routine moments into acts of wholehearted worship that honor the Lord and bless the people around us. |
