[pull_quote_center]”And you are living stones that God is building into his spiritual temple. What’s more, you are his holy priests. Through the mediation of Jesus Christ, you offer spiritual sacrifices that please God.” – 1 Peter 2:5 NLT[/pull_quote_center]
We are kings and priests in the New Testament. As priests, there are sacrifices we offer to God, for ourselves and for our loved ones, through Christ.
Apostle Paul asked the believers in Rome to offer their bodies as a living sacrifice to God (Romans 12:1).
In Hebrews 13:15-16, we see some other sacrifices: “Therefore, let us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God, proclaiming our allegiance to his name. And don’t forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God.”
Live a life that pleases God; offer praises to Him; do good and give to the needy.
