God instructs us to give our whole life to him as a holy and living sacrifice. But how do we do this? What does it mean to truly surrender your life to God as a sacrifice? One great way is to pattern yourself after Israel’s offerings.
Give Your All to God focuses on the burnt offering and explains how while the people of Israel used a physical animal as a sacrifice, today we offer every part of our lives to God. And just as the physical offering was divided into five parts and burned up completely, we can take this unique example and apply it to our own sacrifice of our heart, soul, strength, mind, and everything else. Author Morris Williams presents sixteen worship behaviors that we can offer to God every day, enabling us to be a complete and total offering to God.
You must give your all to God, and doing so is what pleases him as you follow his instructions. And likewise, surrendering fully to God is part of his plan of salvation through Jesus Christ—the ultimate sacrifice, who died for you so you could become a valued member of God’s family.
