The eternality of the sacrifice of Jesus reminds us of the gravity of sin, lest we think that it is but a small, insignificant matter to us or to God.
The sight and smell of the burnt offering day and night for the Israelites would ever make them conscious of the need to obey His commands and to make use of God's means for the forgiveness of their sins when they fall into transgressing His law. It is always an appeal to God to be merciful to them. They cannot rest on their own laurels. They must rest in God His way.
The peace offering (fat, oil, incense, and salt) was to be placed on top of the burnt offering. Peace with God only comes from atonement through a redeeming action of a substitute. The death of the sacrifice replaces the death of the sinner every time he sins. There must be redemption first before peace can be realized between God and His chosen ones. There is no true peace without God's acceptance, favor, mercy, and grace. He provided the way for us to be reconciled and have peace. It was not of our doing. We could never make our own way to God. He came to us. He reached down to us. He made Himself one of us to be the perfect substitute to die in our places. He humbled Himself. He set aside His glory to be vulnerable and able to suffer for us. He provided all that is needed for our salvation. We are just to believe this and receive salvation from Him. Before creation, God had all things worked out for our good despite knowing we would be sinful and corrupted. In all this God displays His glory in exercising His love, grace, mercy, and justice through redemptive creation and history.
All dominion, power and authority is God's. He alone is above all things. He alone is sovereign over all things. He alone is the sole decider of what is right and good and pure as well as what is evil, wicked, and unholy. He decides the rules for His universe. All creation bows to Him. All creation answers to Him. He alone is God.
