The sin and trespass offerings were God’s dispensation in the Old Testament to address the fallen condition of mankind. We all have a need for purification, and the individual acts of wrongdoing we commit are the fruit of this condition. As with all the other offerings, the sin and trespass offerings were shadows and types pointing to Christ. God had Christ in mind from the beginning, and because of His sacrifice, we have a new dispensation if we trust in Him and the efficacy of His finished work.
