Commentary on Numbers 3:4
Nadab and Abihu's death 'before the LORD' (Leviticus 10:1-2) for offering 'strange fire' demonstrates that God's holiness allows no presumption or innovation in worship. Their sin of adding human creativity to divinely prescribed worship resulted in immediate judgment, establishing the principle that God determines acceptable worship according to His revealed will, not human preference. This has direct application to the regulative principle of worship: God's people should worship Him according to His commands in Scripture, not according to human traditions or innovations.
