The Acceptable Sacrifice

Psalm 51: 17

“17 The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.”

We will never know God unless we are humble.  We will never be humble unless we realize that we are powerless before our sins and that we need a savior in order to be in a right relationship with God.   

When we realize how weak we are, that God holds the key to our salvation, and we come before Him asking for forgiveness and accepting Christ as our Lord, it is at that point that we have humility, it is at that point that we have salvation, it is at that point that we have a relationship with God.

The sacrifice that is acceptable to God is our pride.

May the love of Christ be with you,

Rev. Eric Lanier (Retired)
