Trespass Offerings (sin as an act), (5:14-6:7). Trespass offerings deal with sins against one's neighbor, highlighting the relational impact of sin. Restitution is often a key part of the process, pointing towards the need to restore broken relationships. Leviticus 5: Specific Trespasses and Restitution: Justice and Restoration: The trespass offering process, with an emphasis on restitution, foreshadows the future work of Christ in not just forgiving sin but also bringing about God’s justice and ultimate restoration. How does Christ's work address not only the vertical dimension of sin (offense against God) but also the horizontal dimension (offense against neighbor)? Imperfect Restitution and Christ's Perfect Work: The act of restitution under the trespass offering system is incomplete. How does this foreshadow the necessity of Christ's perfect offering, not only atoning for sin but also fully restoring the broken relationship between God and humanity? Discuss the concept of Christ's work bringing not just forgiveness but also reconciliation. Leviticus 6: Guilt Offerings and Dealing with Denial: Conviction of Sin and Repentance: The guilt offering is linked to a realization of wrongdoing and a desire to make amends. How does this foreshadow the role of the Holy Spirit in convicting believers of sin and leading them to repentance? Discuss how genuine faith involves not just intellectual knowledge but also a transformed heart that seeks to live righteously. Sacrifice and Transformation: The trespass offering involves both sacrifice and restitution. How does this foreshadow the ongoing work of Christ in believers' lives, not just through justification but also through sanctification, the process of becoming more Christ-like? Explore the concept of Christ's sacrifice not only securing forgiveness but also empowering believers to live transformed lives.
