Leviticus 5:1-13.
MANY sins are spoken of in these chapters; some which we may consider little sins and some big ones, but sin is always sin in God’s sight. He says what sin is, not we.
When a person knows he has sinned, he is guilty (verse 4), and when he is guilt, he must confess his sin (verse 5); then he must bring his offering, and the priest will make atonement for his sin.
My dear young reader, God’s Word tells you that you have sinned, and if you are not saved, your sins are still upon you. Confess them to Him; atonement has been made by the Great High Priest, Jesus, the Son of God.
“If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead; thou shalt be saved.” Romans 10:9.
I may not know as much as others of the work of Jesus, or the immense value of His death on the cross, but if I see Him as the One who has been my Substitute—the One who has borne the judgment of God, which I deserved for my sins—God will accept Him for me. I may come to God through the Lord Jesus Christ, who is both the burnt offering and the sin offering.
