The Day of Atonement

Separation Follows Sin (Leviticus 16:1-6)
God is near to all men yet far from most.
What are you doing to gain access to God's presence? Stop! You can only go through the Curtain that God has provided.
What does having access to God mean to you and what difference does it make in your life?

Fellowship Follows Forgiveness (Leviticus 16:7-28)
God's dwelling must be sinless.
Have you had a Day of Atonement yet? If not, why not?
What makes you a suitable dwelling for God's Holy Spirit?
What are you doing to remain uncorrupted by sin?

Forgiveness Follows Faith (Leviticus 16:29-34)
Christ's atonement can only be applied once in a lifetime.
What in your life is keeping you from receiving God's cleansing through Christ?
How might you be putting off God's offer of cleansing for a later date? How do you know later will ever come?
What are you trying to contribute to the salvation only Jesus provides? By adding to it, you are denying His sufficient substitutionary atonement on your behalf.
