The reason why God let the Israelites apply the blood
Leviticus 8:15~28 Moses slaughtered the bull and took some of the blood and with his finger he put it on all horns of the altar to purify the altar. He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. So he consecrated it to make atonement for it. (15)

Science is advancing and the knowledge and information in the world are ever growing, but there is one thing that is lacking. No matter how much one studies, develops himself, and makes efforts, he doesn’t know why the problems of disasters in this world and spiritual problems that destroy individuals are coming and how these can be resolved. That is why many people are suffering from family problems and mental problems, people afflicted by depression are ever increasing, and many adolescents are wandering. It is important to correctly know at such times why Jesus alone is the way, what kind of commission the church must undertake, and the nature of the true power that we must gain.
1. Live centered on the tabernacle
What is most important in our Christian walk of faith is worship. Leviticus is a book that records worships and sacrifices and is written so that we can correctly know and enjoy the worship in which we receive the blessing of God regarding our entire life. Even if we are not aware of it, there is only one way that changes the problems that become our spiritual background. We must know and believe that Jesus is the Christ. Only those who believe in this can enjoy worship. For this, we must first cast aside worries and unbelief. Living centered on the tabernacle and centered on worship of enjoying Christ is what God’s children must do and the blessing that they must enjoy.
2. Put the blood on the horns of the altar
The most important commission of the church is to correctly understand and preach the Gospel. The horns of the altar is what saved people when they grabbed on to them. We can live whenever we return to Christ. We must make it so that the blood of the covenant of Christ, through which we free ourselves from disasters, hell, and the authority of Satan, flow in the church so that the poor, the heartbroken, the crippled, and the blind can all come inside of the blessing of the church and live. The church that is being held in God’s hand is the church that forms oneness in the cross and the Gospel.
3. Put the blood on the body of the priest
The Gospel must be at the center of the hearts of the pastors who serve the church. The pastors who serve the church and its believers must stand with the heart of gratitude and thanksgiving for salvation. Pastors, church lay leaders, Remnants, and the parents of the Remnants are all the people for whom the power of the blood of Christ flows. By the blood of the covenant we all have gained new life. God’s kingdom will come and all the forces of darkness will crumble in the field where we live the life of the evangelist, centered on Christ and on the tabernacle.
-Think about what kind of relationship the event of the cross realistically has to do with you. Deeply meditate on the spiritual truth that the blood of the covenant flows in your past, present, and future.
