Nadab and Abihu, sons of Aaron, acted presumptuously in offering unauthorized fire before the Lord, leading to their immediate death. Their story underscores the importance of reverence, obedience, and holiness in worshiping a holy God.
The Law of Moses provided Israel with a comprehensive guide to holiness, worship, and societal order, yet it pointed beyond itself to the ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ. Through His perfect life and sacrifice, Christ completed the requirements of the Law, ushering in the Dispensation of Grace and inviting believers to live by faith in His finished work.
