What God Wants

Hosea 6:6 - For I delight in loyalty rather than sacrifice, and in the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

God instituted circumcision and the sacrificial system in the Old Testament. These rituals were used to help the people understand and create a relationship with God. In the New Testament, these rituals were replaced with the Last Supper and Baptism. Without an attitude of love toward God, rituals are meaningless. What is your inspiration in participating in these practices? If your heart is far from God, your participation is nothing more than mockery.

Why do you worship? What is the motive behind your offerings and sacrifices? God wants your heart, not your rituals.

God Bless
