SACRIFICE is the ground of all God’s bestowments and blessings. There is one principle which runs through the Scriptures from end to end, like the lead in a pencil, and that is, that all God’s approaches to man, and all man’s approaches to Him, are on the ground of sacrifice.

  1. Acceptance. Abel’s acceptance with the Lord (Heb. 11:4).
  2. Regeneration. Noah’s looking out on a new world in covenant promise (Gen. 8:20-21).
  3. Preservation. Israel’s protection in Egypt (Ex. 12:13).
  4. Access. Entrance into the holiest of all in the tabernacle (Leviticus 16:14).
  5. Cleansing. Cleansing of the leper (Lev. 14:6).
  6. Consecration. Consecration of the temple (1 Kings 8:5).
  7. Bestowment. The bestowment of a kingdom (1 Sam. 16:1-5).

All the above blessings and many more, are grounded upon sacrifice.
