So, I know what you are thinking (after reading Chapter 28)…
In order to please God I need to:
- find a perfect lamb (one without defect)
- mix the grain offering with the oil
- burn it in order to show God that I love him/to be saved from my sin
Obviously, this isn’t exactly how we show God we love him now because Jesus came to be the ultimate Perfect Lamb and offers us salvation if we simply ask for it. After we ask for forgiveness, we are able to offer things to God that prevent us from being in communion with God.
What kinds of things do you offer to God in your daily life to show Him that you love him and are grateful for your salvation? Have you surrendered a relationship that wasn’t good – because it wasn’t honoring to God? Did you stop a behavior because you knew it wasn’t pleasing to the Lord?
Spend a bit of time reflecting on what you could offer to God in your life.
