1 Samuel 15:22-23 “Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD?
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams. For rebellion is the sin of divination, and presumption is as iniquity and idolatry.
Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has also rejected you from being king.”
The most interesting part is that God sent His son to Die on the Cross for our Sins.
Romans 8:3-4
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Jesus did what we couldn't do:
He lived a perfect life before God. He showed that sin isn't something we have to do and that it doesn't have to keep us in chains. He gave us his Spirit so that we could not only share in his forgiveness and cleansing grace, but also have the power to live in a way that pleases God.
Jesus is the one who pays for our sins and saves us. Sacrificing a goat, cow, a cock, dog or cat can't be a means to save us.
Riches of our parents, ourselves, or even the church we attend can be a means to save us from our sins.
He who wants to make it to Heaven must live a good life. Living a good life for blessings demands sacrifice. Work hard for a glorious tomorrow.
Missing Heaven will be a painful thing to regret.
Jesus loves You and will forgive you.
Prayer: Father, thank you for making the sacrifice for my sin. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for being willing to pay such a terrible price to save me from that sin. Holy Spirit, thank you for living in me and giving me the power to live for God. Thank you, God, for saving us. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
