Bible Verses About Sacrifice

Verses on the sacrifice of Christ and our call to offer our lives as living sacrifices — worship expressed through surrender.

The ultimate sacrifice was made once for all — Jesus, at the end of the ages, appearing to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. These verses on sacrifice call you to live in light of that reality. Present your body as a living sacrifice — holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable act of worship. The sacrifices God desires are a broken spirit and a contrite heart. What you lay down in love for God and others participates in the same divine logic that turned death into life.
