Leviticus 17:1-4 Cut off from among his people.

 1Then the LORD said to Moses, 2“Speak to Aaron, his sons, and all the Israelites and tell them this is what the LORD has commanded: 3‘Anyone from the house of Israel who slaughters an ox,a a lamb, or a goat in the camp or outside of it 4instead of bringing it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to present it as an offering to the LORD before His tabernacle—that man shall incur bloodguilt. He has shed blood and must be cut off from among his people.


Things have changed for the Israelites, no longer could a man worship by sacrificing anywhere he wanted. Now it’s become centralized and the responsibility of sacrificing an ox, lamb or goat has been given to the priests. 


This command is contrary to our modern culture, individualistic approach to God where each person makes up their own rules about dealing with God as they see Him. Making up your own rules won’t get you into heaven.


Jesus saves and without Him there is no salvation, no forgiveness of sin, no heaven!


Will you be accepted through His Son’s sacrifice or cut off from among his people?


Blessings, David
