"Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving and pay your vows to the Most High; Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me. But to the wicked God says, "What right have you to tell of My statutes And to take My covenant in your mouth? For you hate discipline, And you cast My words behind you."
Psalm 50:14-17
Although the animal sacrifices have been abolished, the spirit of sacrifice remains. It is the living and concrete expression of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. There is no expressing of faith without sacrifice, just as there is no sacrifice without faith. To memorize a couple of Bible verses or to eat in drink from the Lord's Supper is very easy. What is difficult is to live according to what you say you believe.
