1.3 OUR SACRIFICE

Abel’s worship ended up costing him everything. Real, genuine worship will cost us. Sacrifice is necessary for us to be in right standing with God. There is an old saying that is very true: “It’s not sacrifice unless it costs you something.” How many times have we offered God our leftovers? How many times have we offered Him something that wasn’t a big deal for us to give up? A real sacrifice is difficult; it means telling ourselves “no” about something so that we can tell God “yes.” We need to decide as Christians, “I will offer God my best.” Jesus gave His very best for us; we owe Him our best in return.
