Punishments for Lawbreaking (Leviticus 20)

In a world that minimizes sin and blurs the lines of justice, Leviticus 20 speaks with sobering clarity. This chapter doesn’t just define evil—it prescribes consequences. It reminds us that God is not indifferent to what harms people and dishonors His name. While the civil penalties given to Israel don’t apply to us today in the same way, they reveal the seriousness of sin and the justice of God. And they point us to our only hope—the One who bore our punishment so we could go free.
