* Since the fall of man we see people giving offerings to God.
* Offerings were voluntary - you weren't "commanded" to bring offerings.
* Why? Because God put into human nature the desire to "give back."
* 1) The Reason for offerings is to show your love to God and gratitude for His provision, and in the case of the sin offerings it was so that you could be put back in right relationship with Him.
* 2) The Recognition for an offering was that you must first "recognize" that all is God's and all came from Him.
* 3) The Result of the offering is ACCEPTANCE by God.
* God will only accept a clean offering that's your very best.
* Our lives are to be offerings to God.
