"THE SACRIFICE YOU DESIRE from me is a broken spirit. You will not reject a
broken and repentant heart, O God!"
A common question asked by everyone is what am I doing here? We all want to know what life is all about and what is expected of us. Another question frequently asked by many, is that all there is, or is there life after death? What is it that is desired of us while we are here on earth?
We should all be asking, what does Jesus Christ the Lord God desire from us? The correct way to respond to God is by accepting Him and believing in His Salvation for your eternal life. You must Know, Fear, and Love the Lord God and learn to Worship Him and live His Word. You must acknowledge that you are a sinner in need of a Savior. You must offer yourself as a living sacrifice to the God of the Universe.
Man has offered up all kinds of sacrifices throughout time. Burnt offerings of animals was done for hundreds of years. A portion of everything that man accumulated was sacrificed to God. Our One Truth Today makes it clear what the Lord truly desires from each one of us!
The sacrifice that God most desires from you is a broken spirit. One that acknowledges the Holy Spirit of the Lord that will fill your heart. God will not reject a broken and repentant heart. You have to turn from you carnal nature of sinning and turn to the Lord for Salvation.
You must leave the worldly desires behind and live out the Word of God! The scripture just before this one tells us that the Lord does not want burnt offerings any more, since the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
What can you give God that He does not all ready own? You can choose to accept Him into your heart and accept His free gift of Salvation of your own free will. That is the sacrifice that He desires from you and that is what will Save you. Have you given the Lord your broken and repentant heart? The Lord will never reject this gift or sacrifice. It is what He desires! It is the reason and purpose of your birth to this earth. If you bend your knee and confess with your tongue that Jesus Christ is the Lord God you will be Saved! The world has nothing to offer you but death in the end. The Lord offers you eternal life in perfection. Your Sacrifice is what will Save you and what the Lord desires!
