—Hebrews 13:10-16
by: Gabrielle Osborn.
We will never have to bring a blood sacrifice to God—Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice of that kind on the cross. However, this does not mean that God does not expect any kind of sacrifice from us. This passage shows us that God desires our lives as living sacrifices—this is a big calling! There is a dual purpose behind this sacrifice, the first being that when we sacrifice to God, we are showing Him that we regard Him as holy and worthy. The second purpose of offering ourselves as a living sacrifice is that when we surrender and empty ourselves, He is then able to fill us with something greater than we ever could—Himself.
