  2. Exposition

What do these verses reveal about the nature of God’s character?

Leviticus 26:46 (ESV)

46 These are the statutes and rules and laws that the LORD made between himself and the people of Israel through Moses on Mount Sinai.

The closing verses of Leviticus 26:1–46 reveal God’s willingness to forgive his people. Even though the nation turns its back against the covenant by worshipping other gods, disregarding the Sabbath, and mistreating the land, all is not hopeless. The Lord will forgive all who turn to him in humble repentance. This is a wonderful message for humanity. No matter how sinful one may be, there is hope and restoration in God. This mercy is found in the person of Jesus Christ, whose blood cleanses his people from all unrighteousness.
