If they relied on the Levitical sacrifices then all that awaited them was a “fearful expectation of judgement, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries”. The Levitical sacrifices are now totally ineffective, only the blood of Christ cleanses us of sin, brings forgiveness. We often seem to think it is up to us to decide who or how God will accept us. Nothing could be further from the truth and the Law made that abundantly clear. Only God decides how we are made pure.

The Law made it abundantly clear that God decided the rules, and anyone who broke them was, under the testimony of two or three witnesses, put to death. In reading the Law we may sometimes wonder why there is so much harshness. One of the reasons is that God is making it absolutely clear that He is the One who decides the rules, there can be no brooking of this.
