God through Moses provided for Israel an annual Day of Atonement. Now through Jesus of Nazareth God provides the atonement itself for all people. "He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world." (1 John 2:2) So we can avail ourselves of this atoning sacrifice for our wrongdoing by holding to the teachings of Jesus which are the light God gives the world. "If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin." (1 John 1:6-7) As John the Baptist used to say of Jesus for all to hear "See, the Lamb of God which takes away the sin of the world!" He died for you.
