Personal Devotion (Part B)

A free will relationship with God is a mutual friendship that reflects our being made in the image of God. The burnt sacrifice in Leviticus 1 symbolizes devotion and confession of guilt, and the practice of laying hands on the head of the animal represents the transfer of sin to the sacrificial animal, illustrating the doctrine of substitution. This concept is fulfilled in Christ's death on the cross, which finalized the substitutionary sacrifice and allows sinners to be embraced by God.
