# sin offering, sin offerings
|
|
|
|
## Definition:
|
|
|
|
The "sin offering" was one of several sacrifices that God required the Israelites to offer.
|
|
|
|
* This offering involved sacrificing a bull, burning its blood and fat on the altar, and taking the rest of the animal's body and burning it on the ground outside the Israelite camp.
|
|
* The complete burning up of this animal sacrifice shows how holy God is and how terrible sin is.
|
|
* The Bible teaches that in order for there to be a cleansing from sin, blood must be shed to pay the cost for the sin that was committed.
|
|
* Animal sacrifices could not permanently bring about forgiveness of sin.
|
|
* Jesus's death on the cross paid the penalty for sin, for all time. He was the perfect sin offering.
