“This is the law of the burnt offering, of the grain offering, of the sin offering, of the guilt offering, of the ordination offering, and of the peace offering, which the Lord commanded Moses on Mount Sinai, on the day that he commanded the people of Israel to bring their offerings to the Lord, in the wilderness of Sinai.” -Leviticus 7:37-38

Giving is not optional for those who follow God; it is essential. Leviticus 7 is a clear example of this principle. After giving several chapters of instructions about various offerings, the chapter ends on the note that this is what God commanded when Moses was on Mount Sinai. This was not about preference or publicity, but about holiness and obedience.

For generations, such offerings were used to come before God. With the coming of God to us in the life of Jesus Christ, we are no longer commanded to offer ongoing offerings. Instead, he became our offering and our substitute. We now offer our lives as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God.

As Christians, we give our lives in devotion to God. It is not about money, but about every area of life. We give of our finances, our time, our abilities, our resources, our every breath–knowing Christ gave everything for us.
