Studying the Scriptures

Do activity A as you study Leviticus 2–7.

1. The Law of Sacrifice

   The sacrifices described in Leviticus are no longer required of Church members today. The principles taught by the sacrifices, however, are still true and must be a part of our lives if we want to be right with God.

   1. Read 3 Nephi 9:19–20 and write what the Lord said we sacrifice instead of animals.

   2. Give examples of how you think you can do what Jesus commanded in 3 Nephi 9:19–20.
