“Now if a person sins and does any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, though he was unaware, still he is guilty and shall bear his punishment” … “he was certainly guilty before the LORD.” – Leviticus 5:17 & part of 19
Unintentional/unaware sin is still sin. How cool is that! Not that sinning is cool, but the fact we serve a God of NO EXCEPTIONS! There is no gray area. Sin is sin – PERIOD. How about that for an absolute! Complete, perfect & pure!
Our sin demands a blood shed offering – a sin offering and a guilt offering. In order for atonement to be made we must cast our offering on the altar – perfect offering, one without defect. Man could NEVER bring a worthy offering or sacrifice outside a heart filled and covered by the blood of Christ. He was/is perfect, without defect and it is only through Him – those who are “certainly guilty before the Lord” – that forgiveness is granted and guilt removed.
We are ALL guilty! ALL OF US!
Please take advantage of the time you been given in the Light to take hold of the Light, and the precious gift Jesus has to offer all who would ask!
