TOPIC: SACRIFICE: What Is Sacrifice? (1)
MEMORY VERSE:
Hebrews 13:15-16.
“15. By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.”
“16. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.”
BIBLE READING:
Psalms 116:17
“17. I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.”
Thinking Point:
If there’s anything God wants from us, it’s our sacrifice day in and day out.
Welcome to a new week and welcome to this new series. We shall be digging through the Bible to see What Sacrifice is, categories of sacrifice and how to offer them to God. Today, our focus is What is Sacrifice?
Sacrifice Is often referred to as ‘offering something valuables’ such as a valued animal or a portion of one’s possessions, to God as an act of worship, repentance, or thanksgiving. Sacrifices were a significant part of religious rituals in the Old Testament, symbolizing obedience and devotion to God. They were also seen as a means of atonement for sin, until Jesus’ was sacrificed on the cross, which we believers understand as the greatest and an end for any forms of blood sacrifice either for sins or thanksgiving. Sacrifice in the Bible can also extend to personal acts of selflessness and service to others, reflecting Christ’s example of sacrificial love.
Let me round it up this way, sacrifice entails giving, releasing, something willingly without persuasion. First of all, God is the first reasons for sacrifice. The first person to sacrifice to is God, our creator, the beginning and finisher of our faith, so therefore, every human is assigned to give sacrifice to God. Sacrifice is a symbol of Love, Obedient and appreciation to God first before anyone else. How sacrificial are you? Join me tomorrow as we move further in our study.
