How Not to Approach God

Today’s reading: Leviticus 8:1-10:20

I suspect that many evangelicals today presume to approach God with little or no fear. It is true that He is our Father. It is true that we can say “Abba, Father” (Romans 8:15. We are His adopted children. Yet He is still the Holy, Sovereign, consuming fire. Let us keep both these truths in perspective: fear and confidence.

For more reflections on this passage see the corresponding reading in my book Cover to Cover: Through the Bible in 365 days.
