Sacrifice is the foundational principle for salvation and spiritual growth as exemplified by Jesus Christ's preordained sacrifice before the world's creation (I Peter 1:18-20). Sacrifice underpins faith, hope, and obedience, which forms the basis of a covenant relationship with God. In the same way that Christ's sinless life and death paid the penalty for human sin, God's called-out saints are called to daily sacrifices reflecting devotion to God (burnt offerings) and service to others (grain offerings) as outlined in Leviticus and Numbers 29. These acts of sacrifice, consisting of obedience, prayer, praise, and selfless service transform our carnal nature, aligning us with God's perfect image. In Psalm 50, God rebukes hypocritical offerings contaminated by pride and slander. Sacrifice is costly, demanding the denial of self and overcoming the fear of loss, but is positively reframed as an investment yielding eternal dividends. The parables of the virgins, talents, and final judgment hinges on sacrifice to others, reflecting Christ's indwelling presence. God's chosen saints are urged to imitate Christ's example (Ephesians 5:1-2) offering their lives as living sacrifices (Roman 12:1-3) and building a relationship with God and His family, culminating in eternal life.
