Our greatest sacrifice for God

Day LXXXIX

Brothers and Sisters our scriptures for today revealed to us what great sacrifice we can offer to God. Sacrifice my friends is our expression of gratitude to God for his loving-kindness, for forgiveness of our sins and expressing our love to him.

You might have heard the stories of animal sacrifices given to God. In the old testament there are numerous type of sacrifice required for specific purpose. When Jesus came, he shown us the greatest example of what sacrifice really matter to God the Father. Again, I would say that Jesus is our source of knowledge and path. He is the best model, the person who practices what he preached.

As Jesus Christ given his life as a sacrifice not only to the Father but for the whole human race. We are also commanded to do the same.

Romans 12


 1 Therefore I exhort you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a sacrifice – alive, holy, and pleasing to God – which is your reasonable service. 2 Do not be conformed to this present world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may test and approve what is the will of God – what is good and well-pleasing and perfect. 

also in the book of Galatians 5:16 But I say, live by the Spirit and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh.

Ourselves are the most important sacrifice we can offer to God. We should live as a servant of God - doing righteous service in everything that we do (like doing it for God). We should die daily by renewing ourselves to be righteous and be strong in the battle for righteousness.
