In Romans 11, Paul says that all men are in need of mercy. In the Jewish system of sacrifices, you did the sacrifice in order to get a cleanse from your sins and receive mercy. Jesus died once for all forever. When you accept him, you don't need to sacrifice inorder to be saved. You sacrifice because you're saved. We live from our salvation, not for our salvation. It's a free gift as Paul described it.
Sacrifices were a vital part of worship in Old Testament Israel because they foreshadowed the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made on the cross. What we forget sometimes is that God still challenges us to offer sacrifices to Him. These days, the offerings aren’t sheep, bulls, and goats. Instead, God expects us to surrender our very lives to Him. This week’s podcast marks the beginning of a series on Romans 12. As we dig into the incredible passage of Scripture, we’ll see what it means to be a living sacrifice—and the practical impact that can have on our lives as men, husbands, and fathers.
