Lev.3:16
16 And the priest shall burn them on the altar as a food offering with a pleasing aroma. All fat is the LORD's
Lev.9:24
24 And fire came out from before the LORD and consumed the burnt offering and the pieces of fat on the altar, and when all the people saw it, they shouted and fell on their faces.
Leviticus 17:6
And the priest shall throw the blood on the altar of the LORD at the entrance of the tent of meeting and burn the fat for a pleasing aroma to the LORD
God is the giver of all good things. Fat and blood were God's part of every sacrifice. Blood was shed for atonement. It can never be considered a common thing but is held in the highest regards. The blood of Christ alone stands for our atonement. The OT sacrifice, as commanded by God, taught the Jews the distinction between common and sacred things. Through Christ we are reconciled to God by His blood sacrifice!
New Testament
Heb.9:28
28 so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.
Hebrews 7:27
27 Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself.
Hebrews 5:9
9 and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him
29 How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has spurned the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace?
Matthew 26:28
28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Hebrews 2:3
3 how shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him.
Hebrews 10:10
10 And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Heb.10:26-27
26 For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
Matthew 26:28
28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Hebrews 2:3
3 how shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him.
Hebrews 10:10
10 And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Heb.10:26-27
26 For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
27 but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries.
Lord, help us make the right choices, keep us close to Your Word, write it on our hearts and minds so if we are tempted, Your Word will keep us. Amen
