Sin-offering is important because God hates sin. Before we can see God, understand his words, get intimate with Him, Know God's point of view, we have to confess our sin and pray for cleaning. That's why God used plenty of time and paragraphs to show Moses how to choose sheep, how to burn, who can do it, how the ceremony should be held. It is important! Most of the time, we are eager to request and busy on complaining and questioning. We forget the reason we are unable to hear God is that we have sin. Eventually, we don't realize our sin and neglect his words. Lost the ability on differentiating from holy and common, unclean and clean. Whenever there is distance between God and us, it's most likely our sin.
When Alan's sons used their own way burning strange fire to God, God killed them. The reason is God will be sanctified and glorified before his people. Why would God so angry about that? I only think of God teaches us the respect on him. Our attitude when taking his words is what he really care. He is God and he should be glorified. But we most of the time not taking his words that serious. When we are serving God especially, we must particularly stick with his bible. When we are in front of his people, we must particularly glorify him instead of using our own way, or glorifying ourselves. Leviticus 8-10
